Has anyone ever died in a Saab automobile?

Certainly. The laws of physics vs. the planning of safety engineers can only go so far. Someone who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, for instance.

However, the odds of dying in a Saab automobile are far less than in nearly all other cars. Take a look at the IIHS safety ratings to confirm this. Saab has been in the top few every year for as long as IIHS has been collecting statistics, over 20 years.
