No. In fact Ancient Hebrew has no word for hell. This is a purely Christian concept that was introduced in the New Testament.

For the word hell, Modern Hebrew uses the word geh hinom (גיא הינום) in movies, which literally means "valley of hinom," a garbage dump outside Jerusalem.

When Cain died did he go to hell?

-----------------------Cain is part of the Hebrew scriptures and if we must determine his fate, we should do so based on Hebrew beliefs. In the first millennium BCE, Hebrew belief posited sheol, a place or state with no reward and no punishment, more a state of semi-consciousness. Even today, Jews do not have a hell. On that basis we ought to assume that Cain did not go to hell.
