Yes. His blind great, great, grandson, Lemech the Blind.
Sandwiched between two genealogical lines, the passage describing Lamech, descendant of Cain and his children is fairly substantive:
Lamekh had two wives: Adah, and Tsilah. Adah gave birth to Yaval, the father of tent-dwellers, and cattle owners. His brother was Yuval, the father of harpists, and pipers. Tsilah, on the other hand, gave birth to Tuval-Qayin, who instructed the artificers of brass and iron. Tuval-Qayin's sister was Na'amah. And Lamekh said to Adah and Tsilah, his wives:
Hear my voice: ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:
For I have slain a man to my wounding,(Cain), and a young man to my hurt. (Tubal Cain, Lamech's son, the shepard boy).
If Qayin shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamekh seventy-sevenfold.
-Genesis 4:19-24 in paraphrase
Genesis 5:25-31 records that Lamech was 182 years old at the birth of Noah; and that he lived for another 595 years after this, making his age at death 777 years (or just a few years before the Flood). With such numbers in this geneaological account, calculations such as those of Archbishop Ussher would suggest that Adam was still alive for about the first 50 years of Lamech's life.

Cain was killed by his great-grandson Lamech.
This Lamech was blind, and when he went a-hunting, he was led by his young son, who would apprise his father when game came in sight, and Lamech would then shoot at it with his bow and arrow. Once upon a time he and his son went on the chase, and the lad discerned something horned in the distance. He naturally took it to be a beast of one kind or another, and he told the blind Lamech to let his arrow fly. The aim was good, and the quarry dropped to the ground. When they came close to the victim, the lad exclaimed: "Father, thou hast killed something that resembles a human being in all respects, except it carries a horn on its forehead!" Lamech knew at once what had happened--he had killed his ancestor Cain, who had been marked by God with a horn. In despair he smote his hands together, inadvertently killing his son as he clasped them. Misfortune still followed upon misfortune. The earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the four generations sprung from Cain--Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, and Methushael. Lamech, sightless as he was, could not go home; he had to remain by the side of Cain's corpse and his son's.

Cain was the murderer, and killed his brother Abel. He was cursed by God and a mark was put on his head so everyone would know who he was. Although he was to be disassociated with everyone else, God pronounced a protection over Cain in the form of another curse for anyone who laid a hand on him to harm him. He died much later and of natural causes.

According to the Apocryphal "Book of Enoch" they did,he was struck by a stray arrow by a grandson.
It does not say this in the Bible though.

Nobody, in fact God put a mark on him and since then he is not able to stop to rest because if he stops, the ground on him start to trembling and that is why he must start to walk again and again.
