they get on their backs to moult when they die they stay upright and their legs curl underneath the, take out any live food that is in there then leave it in peace, dont disturb it. put it in a dark place, and you should find it will shed.

just leave the T completely alone, if you disturb it you can cause it to panic and try and flip back over.
Its definately shedding, not dead. Its a big T so there shouldnt be any complications. just let the T do its thing, itll be finished in a while. dont panic if it takes a few hours, it usually does. Sit and watch through the glass if ya like, great to watch them come out new and shiny!

watch it, it can be a slow process but an amazing thing to watch.
You can put a towel over the top of the tank, if you dampen the towel it will help hold the humidity in too
