Not really, no. Darwin awards are for when you can look at a death and go "wow, why did he do that? He had to have known there was a chance of death". Things where you're putting yourself in danger and then die.
People eat cockroaches and other bugs all the time, and nothing happens. In fact they're actually good for you. This seemed more like a one off. To me, it would be like calling the lady who was killed by the rock through her windsheild a Darwin award candidate for driving down a highway. Sometimes freak deaths just happen.
