How do I know if my tortoise is dead?

[madi1001]

my tortoise was acting weird today and i gave him collard greens and baby arugula this morning and put him outside on the grass in the sun so he could eat and he barely ate and had his head out a lot so i brought him in and put him on the carpet and when i came back he was in his shell and usually never sleeps in his shell. I got scared so put him in warm shallow water for like a minute or two and he didnt come out and I dont know if hes dead or hibernating or whats going on please help.

Oh, I am sorry, too, that you lost your little pal after 10 years. If I had a brain, I would have realized that this thread is from 2021.
