I'm so sorry that your tortoise died. At 52 years old, it had had a good run. I hope you have pleasant memories of your time together.
Thank you for keeping us updated on what really happened. This will help other tortoise friends with similar questions.
Keep it slow and steady.

I am sorry for giving such a late response, but my pet was dead and we came to know this due to the foul smell coming from his body. Also it was 52 years old. Thank you so much for helping me out.

If you touch a live tortoise's foot or leg, there will be a reaction. If there is no reaction, your animal is probably dead.
If it is not dead, it needs treatment for its eyes.
The life span of an Indian star tortoise is about 30 years.
