The word is not used in the NASB or KJV bibles.
To me it is a similar question to this one: Is a person lost if they were sinning when they died?
Since we sin quite frequently it is likely some of us will die while sinning. Which ones? The unlucky ones? I don't think it is like that. We also often take a while sometimes before admitting our sin to God so it would be common for a person to have an unrepentent sin and then die.
If it is true that a person is definitely lost, then it comes down to luck. Our fates do not come down to luck however, but we are all dependent on God's grace.
So even if it is a sin does that mean the person is lost just because that was the last thing they were doing?
People often comment that suicide is always selfish but I disagree.
Judges 16:21-31 - Samson causes own death in enemy camp, asking God to die with them. God granted his request and the bible seems to speak well of it, commenting on how many of the enemy died with him, over a thousand. Or was that murder? Definitely not.
Consider other sins too. Generally it is wrong to lie and perpetual liars are definitely lost but there have been cases where lying is not condemned. Example: Rahab of Jericho who lied when she hid the Israelite spies yet was praised for her great faith. (Pastors will often shun that idea and say she obtained mercy but the bible does not condemn her lying and I can't see how the spies would have lived had she not lied.)
What about sacrifices?]
