Yes he is, he died in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Draco Malfoy was ordered by Lord Voldemort to kill Dumbledore but Severus Snape made an unbreakable vow to Narcissia Malfoy, Draco's mother, that he would protect Draco.

However, Dumbledore had put on the Gaunt's family ring, which was cursed. Snape told Dumbledore that there was no way to completely stop said curse and he'd die within a year. Dumbledore then asked Snape to be the one to kill him because murder would mutilate Malfoy's soul and it would mean Dumbledore would die the master of the Elder wand, thus breaking it's power.

It is implied in the conversation between Snape and Dumbledore that it would not be murder if Snape did it because he was requesting it as a mercy killing, in a sense.
