Because of the shell, it can be very difficult to tell if a tortoise or turtle is dead or alive. Dead tortoises usually have the head and all four legs outside the shell. They often appear limp, and feel limp when you touch them. Eyes may be sunken, but that can also be a sign of dehydration in a livingtortoise.
I got this from Google I'm so very sorry...to see if he is still breathing put a water droplet on his nostrils, a breathing tortoise will cause bubbles to appear, wipe it off if nothing happens
There were no bubbles :'( I tried three times
