Well to modern day's standards he is quite stupid. In his chivalrous times he'd been very, well, chivalrous. :P

There is a theory that the Pope might have poisoned him with a slow poison.

And AFAIK he died in bed from blood choking him with his new concubine. Who knows the concubine might have avenged her dead family?

But provided he died the way you said,I'd say:

(Attila is dead)

-Huns: ZOMG WTF HAX
-Scythians: W00t t3h Kh4n is DEAD
-V151goths and all the other Tribes: get back to base,let's recoup
-Pope: kekekekekekeke I LOLD ROFL
-Romans: ROFLMAO
-An internet User years later: Mwahahahahahaha

Bravery: Experiencing fear, but taking action anyways.
Stupidity: Knowing something is unwise, but taking action anyways.

Those two coincide more often than most people realise. ;)

Quite true -- a brave thing can oftentimes be extremely unwise.  Such as the Union charge up a long hill at (i believe) Fredericksburg.... extremely stupid, but teh soldiers were extremely brave. Countless such examples for both the Confederates and the Union during the US Civil War of similar situations.

Also, just because something may be unwise doesn't mean its unneccessary
