I know you are feeling very worried. We will help you. Please don’t panic. We need information before anyone can answer the question of if he is alive. He might just be too cold. Do not rush to bury him.

FIRST, put him in warm water with his head out of the water. Keep the water warm. Leave him there for the next couple hours while people here help you.

NEXT, answer these questions to get the experts here started.

1. What type of tortoise is he? How old is he? How long have you had him?
2. What is the exact name of the food he was eating before he stopped eating?
3. Post pictures of his enclosure inside the house and outside.
4. Exactly what happened? He was awake, eating, moving around one day and then, what? Give us specific information about what happened.

He was a water turtle he was a/2 year old and I had him for 6-7 months
He was eating the food in picture
Yes 3 days ago he was fine and I don't remember seeing him day before yesterday cause I was out and return home late night and yesterday noon I found him lying lifeless with shrunk eyes , a watery substance beneath him , his legs were in lock position and so rigid that if I pull them they may break , it became so light that like it was nothing in his shell I kept him for a day bt there was no movement

This is a joke right? Of course he's dead. Wrong environment, wrong food. Sorry, if it's true, but I can't believe you're being serious.
Yea bro I'm just a 17 year old kid and the environment I kept him in was right cause I settled it up using help from chrome

You should take him to someone who will tell you if he's a turtle or a tortoise. Sounds like responses on here identify him as a turtle. Also, check to see if there is a turtle/tortoise group near you. Yes, seriously! There is one where I live.

Your age is not an excuse. Going on google for 5 minutes is not enough time to figure out how to take care of a living being. This death could have been avoided had you just spent more time researching and figuring out how to properly care for your turtle. I'm sorry for your loss, but it was absolutely due to improper husbandry. Please, before you get any kind of animal in the future, make sure you take your time looking for updated care information and ask questions.
