No that ending wouldnt apply to the canon hence you cant import said character because they died during the suicide mission. In ME3 Shepard dies, resolves the reaper threat; in ME2 the collectors are defeated but the reapers still invade. Its Game Over with a little cutscene instead of the "Critical Mission Failure" screen.
