Would the brother of my friend's wife, who drowned, be considered a martyr, given that his prayers were intermittent and in his last days he did not pray?

The drowned person is considered a martyr in Islam, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whom do you consider a martyr among you?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, whoever is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr." He said: "Then the martyrs of my nation would be few." They asked: "Then who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Whoever is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr, and whoever dies in the way of Allah is a martyr, and whoever dies of plague is a martyr, and whoever dies of a stomach ailment is a martyr." Ibn Miqsam said: "I bear witness that your father said: 'And the drowned person is a martyr.'" Prayer is the pillar of religion and the second fundamental pillar after the two declarations of faith.
