I highly highly doubt it, personally, but again I'm still pretty much a noob. Yeast does go dorment when it doesnt have any more sugar to eat through...

If if the yeast is dead, and you are fairly certain it was because it fermented out and not some other issue, I'd say wait until it clears, then rack, if some more sediment falls rack again, and make sure of an over all aging of at least 6 months.

Well, they did make a bacon mead on HBT.... and that turned out somewhat good, tasted more like pork chops than bacon. So who knows.
