Yes, it must be a signal that kills the play (time out, TD, INC would kill it, tipped ball would not).
Here's the rule (NCAA 4-1-2):
"A live ball becomes a dead ball as provided in the rules or when
an official sounds his whistle (even though inadvertently) or otherwise signals
the ball dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II and A.R. 4-2-4-I)."
The NFHS and NFL inadvertent whistle provisions do not add "or otherwise signals the ball dead."
