It can. The choice is down to the flow of the sentence and the emphasis you wish to put on the turn of events the 'however' implies. I think using 'however at the end of the sentence is often the least elegant construction:


However, the boy survived the fall.
The boy, however, survived the fall.
The boy survived the fall, however.
