No.  PostgreSQL may remove a dead row, but a dead row is by definition
no longer visible, so it wouldn't be found by a query.

I am wondering whether it is a good practice to use CTID in a where clause. years ago when I use to code in Informix, using ROWID as a generic substitute for primary key was discouraged precisely for the same reason as described here for CTID. Sometimes rowid can change under concurrent updates.
