Yes if the recoil is higer then their HP.

For example:A Pokémon has 100 health(full health) and his attack does 220 damage and the attack has 50% recoil. Which means that the recoildamage is 110. So it would KO itself at full health.

252+ Atk Aegislash-Blade Head Smash vs. 252 HP / 0+ Def Blissey: 770-906 (107.8 - 126.8%)–Guaranteed OHKO

So yes, it is possible, if Aegislash had 0 HP IVs, because Blissey has a max HP stat of 714, and Aegislash blade has 293 HP, and Head Smash does exactly half the damage dealt.

Hope I helped!
