I think pausing to consider one's mortality has a way of changing one's perspective for a bit. It makes perfect sense for it to be a calming thought, along the lines of "This too shall pass." So, while it's not "normal," liking Big Bang Theory is normal, so normal is not a useful word here. Is it healthy? I say it is.

All of that, of course, assumes that one doesn't go beyond "This sucks, dying might be nice," to actual suicidal thoughts. Then that's clearly maladaptive, which is my line in the sand for unhealthy. Not that suicide arises from a train of thoughts anything like that, I just don't want anyone to think I'm glorifying completing suicide as an out for having a shitty time.
