Do turtles come out of their shells when they die?

Do turtles come out of their shells when they die?
Turtles cannot come out of their shells completely. The shell is a skeleton on the outside. They just have organs, etc on the inside of the shell. I had to dissect them in college and it was gross.
Reply:no their shells get really REALLY soft and they stink really bad. my brother had 4 and they all died and it was the same with all four of them. Its really gross.
Reply:No, they rot when they die.

The shells are part of their body.
