In pieces yes, and the odor is most foul. If a snail remains unmoving for a couple of days and you still see a his shoe and wonder if he yet lives, simply pick it up out of the water and give it a sniff. It is unmistakable if it is dead. Snails grow their shells while crabs kill the snails for the shells or collect empty shells. As the snail grows so does it shell, where a crab must replace and upgrade its residence as it grows.

What does a dead mystery snail look like?
If a mystery snail has not moved for more then 3 days, it is likely to be dead. If you do not see it move, this does not mead it is dead. Some snails ony come out at night. If you do not see a snail move, but it is in a different place everyday, it is fine. If it has not moved at all in 3 or more days, it is likely that it is not alive as it will be starving or starved to death. You can try taking a snail out of the tank and keeping it in a separate bucket with some food. This will also help to not polute the tank. If the bucket starts smelling really bad, then it is definitely dead.
