God breathed into man the breath of life and he became a living soul. Breath and spirit are the same word in Hebrew. When the spirit/breath goes back to God man ceases to exist. Thats what makes the doctrine of the resurrection so magnificent.
Jesus was dead when he was dead. "Sleep" is the Bible metaphor for being dead.
