Yes and no. It seems that Jonah's prayer starts out with him in the whale, but later we find him praying "out of the belly of hell." He also says, "yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God." Corruption has to do with a decaying dead body. Additionally he says, "When my soul fainted within me" indicating that he was dead.

Just as Jesus died and three days later came back to life, so did Jonah. He died, a great fish saved his body, and three days later God brought him back to life.

Jewish answer: Tradition states that Jonah was alive the entire time. Any verses that could be misunderstood otherwise, were meant poetically, metaphorically.

Who sepent three days inside a whale?

Jonah. God told him to go to Ninevah and preach but Jonah ran from God, he boarded a ship bound for a far away place so God sent a storm and Jonah was thrown overboard. It wasn't Jonah's time to die so god sent a whale to swallow Jonah, Jonah spent three days inside the whale praying to God for forgiveness so God had the whale spit Jonah onto shore and Jonah went to preach the gospel in Ninevah as God had commanded.
