Yes.
Strange you should mention this, but I have personally observed a similar phenomenon in the deaths of various friends and relatives. The ones with the really deep faith fell apart at the end—while the ones without faith were relatively sanguine.
My experience is anecdotal—and I wasn't aware of the studies—but it has always puzzled me.
