If he had died he would not have known how many days and nights he had been in the fish belly. According to one commentary on Papias’s writings, John was killed by a group of Jewish men. Jonah's Anger at the LORD's Compassion … 8 As the sun was rising, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint and wished to die, saying, “It is better for me to die than to live.” 9 Then God asked Jonah, “Have you any right to be angry about the plant?” “I do,” he replied.

Jonah Lomu revealed in 1995 that he had been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome and in 2004 underwent a kidney transplant. I think Jonah did not die because: (1) He counted 3 days and nights. Jonah 2:1 says that Jonah prayed from inside the fish. (2) Jonah 2:3 says, "Billows and waves passed over him," which means that the big fish was swimming near the water surface, allowing waves of water to pass over Jonah. He became the youngest ever All Black when he played his first international in 1994 at the age of 19 years and 45 days.
