If it is like that, cold and not breathing, yes, it is dead.
Yes, when a hamster dies, its body may become stiff due to rigor mortis setting in. This is a natural process that can occur in any animal after death.
It is possible that your hamster has passed away. The stiffness and coldness to the touch are common signs of death in small animals. It is best to handle the situation with care and consider burying your pet properly.
I imagine it could have some major digestive problems which could kill it... A lot of things can kill a hamster. Hamsters die from a stiff breeze.
Yes, it is common for hamsters to appear stiff when they are sleeping. This is known as the "sleeping hunch" position, where they may appear still and their bodies may be slightly arched. It is a natural behavior and is not a cause for concern.
It depends on how long they have been dead. If they just died, they look just like they do when they are alive. After a bit they become stiff and lose body heat. Basically, they will be cool and hard if you touch them. If you are concerned your hamster may be dead, they best thing to do is try to gently roll it with your finger. If he is just sleeping, he will probably jump up pretty quick.
it basically means that they are as boring as a dead person, as 'stiff' is slang for a dead body.
If the hamster is not moving or feels stiff to the touch, or if it doesn't respond to touch or other sensations, or if there is no involuntary "rise and lowering" of the body that is typical in normal breathing, it could very well be dead. Also, if the hamster is emitting a strong, "rotten" odor, it lends further credence to the "dead" theory.

Rigor mortis is dead stiff body, not really called posturing.
