I know that the death pose is not confined to theropods as we (the Carnegie
Museum of Natural History) have a juvenile Camarasaurus which was found in
the death pose.  The pose was relaxed somewhat before the dinosaur was put
on display.

I also only recall seeing this feature in theropod skeletons.  This 
may be a bias towards showing only theropod dinosaurs in their death 
position in museum displays!
