No, Jason was killed when the stern of the rotting Argo (his ship)

fell on him. Medea did, however, kill her and Jason's two young sons

out of revenge for his becoming engaged to Creusa (or Glauke),

a Corinthian princess, who was also killed by her.

Jason fell in love with someone else. As a result, Medea killed her, and also killed both of her own children with Jason.

More specifically, Jason intended to marry Creusa, daughter of Creon, King of Corinth, to strengthen his political ties (because he was the King of Iolcus).

In a seemingly lighthearted offering, Medea gives poisoned gifts to Jason's bride via her children bringing them. She is successful and his bride dies.
