Hi Guy, I would not make a practice of it, sometimes crickets die from mold / fungus from wetness or whatever , can't be too good for your lizards. Also a DEAD bug is not very nourishing either 
I'm sure all of our lizards have grabbed a dead bug from time to time they find in their cage before we clean it, just don't allow him to eat them purposely, try and remove the dead ones.
