I'm assuming yes since you can try to kill the process. I'd strongly suggest checking the various logs, starting with dmesg Also, check the physical "host" to see what it thinks the status of the VM is. Almost every time I've tried to kill a process and seen it turn into a zombie, it's because the process was sleeping / waiting for disk IO, and it won't die until after the OS decides the disk IO has failed or succeeded.
