Only if it was implied that the death was the result of them being liberal. Then, it'd be a slur.

In this case, the broadcaster claimed to be a conservative. He didn't conserve very efficiently however, since he's now dead.

If he was a liberal. I would've said - he was liberal with pretense, but now he can't pretend the vaccine is dangerous anymore, because he's dead.

If he was independent, I would've said, it's a shame he was too independent to consider the thoughts of actual scientists, but now he'll be truly independent - since he's dead.
