Turtles live a long life because they never die of old age. Even at an old age, the internal parts of their body do not show any signs of aging. However, a turtle can die from diseases, being attacked, getting drowned or improper habitat. Some turtles are however considered as "Pests" as they adapt to the habitat they are kept in. Hence, if your turtle is dead, consider yourself responsible for it as "Natural Death" (considering all the circumstances & habitat were appropriate) does not occur to a turtle.
