Nope.

Or is the ball dead at the whistle, even if the ball was in the air?

An inadvertant whistle makes the ball dead unless the ball is in flight on a try/tap.

The only other case where the ball remains live after the whistle is when there is a defensive foul commited while offense was in the act of shooting.
