Yes, it is very rarely fatal by causing a brain infection (encephalitis). It also can cause severe inflammation of the testicles leading to sterility, spontaneous abortion among pregnant women and loss of hearing. The current vaccine called MMR has almost complete protection against the virus causing mumps.

∙ 11y agoThe mumps vaccine was introduced in 1967 and since, the mortality rate has been drastically reduced. Between 1980 and 1999, an average of one death per year has occurred due to mumps. Most deaths occur in persons older than 19 years. In short, mumps CAN be lethal, but it is a very rare occurrence.
