Is my red eared slider dead?

I'm new at turtle care, and I recently got a red eared slider turtle.

However, I noticed that my turtle was stationary in the water for a while. When I pulled it up, it didn't wake up immediately. I'm not sure if the legs are resisting me or not, and it does sink if I place it back in the water. I don't know what to do, or if I can conclude it's dead....

Has the turtle moved at all since your post. If it didnt move at all in your hands and legs just hang there im sorry to say your turtle did pass away. Sorry For Your Loss
