Symptoms of death include a rotting or decaying smell, stiffness of the limbs, and sunken eyelids into the eye socket. Depending on how long the turtle has been dead, the shell may also be more pliable.

∙ 11y agoa turtle is dying when it barely moves or swims, when its mouth releases bubbles, and when it does not eat anymore. remember, when a turtle has wounds or fell from the table, it will be a life threatening. Some experts say that when it has wounds in the shell, treat it with betadine and for an hour, do not expose it to the water after applying. Also, if the turtle is not swimming, measure the water's temperature;make sure it is warm.
