I question whether his demise was intentional. Looks like a coded message on his underside (although the last number is a bit hard to read:

11 6
17 13

Hmmmm. The plot thickens.

Didn't vote this challenge, but did do a quick look-through and stopped to view this one. Makes me sad. Wonder if he died a natural kinda death, since these guys live a very long time. They're rather distinguished creatures and this view shows that in death we're all laid bare - naked, if you will. A very somber picture; sad, but presented with class and reverence.

I like it, and got the connection to "cold" immediately. Your puns are very amusing, and I like "C'est la vie" vs. "C'est le morte" in your comments. :)

My only suggestion on the picture itself would be to crop off some stuff on the right so the turtle's centered. I usually prefer subjects off-center, but here the centered bit would be the shell, with interesting parts poking off into other areas.

I liked the title. Yeah, algor would have been lost on me lol. Thought it was such a sad moment captured. I figured it pertained to cold as in how a body feels when one has passed. That was my interpretation.

Rivals my "Hot" entry for yuck factor. Good shot as far as roadkill (beachkill?) goes.
