Yes it will terminate and free (if FreeOnTerminate is true).

Remember that if it frees itself due to falling out of the Execute() procedure, a variable containing the TThread descendant won't be set nil.

On the other hand, if it doesn't free itself and relies on the main thread checking an "executing" flag, there's a race condition between this being reset and its being safe for the main thread to call FreeAndNil().
