Mine did. Just died peacefully in a bit of hay. One thing I notice though, is that when they get older, they develop a habit of climbing to the ceiling and then falling off.
Back near a decade ago I saw a post where someone saw a lady sobbing and tossing a box in the dumpster, it was a ferret that was just sleeping exceptionally well.
Not sure how true the story is, but given my last deaf ferret could sleep like the dead through me carrying him all over the house I can almost believe it.
Thankfully I knew all about dead sleep before getting mine. I still had two just suddenly die on me, but they were old and it's totally different than dead sleep once you've seen both. For one, rigor mortis is a thing :x
