Are you sure it's dead? When they molt it looks like the whole front half of them sitting on the sand bed. I've found a few molts that i thought for sure were dead crabs but later discovered the crab alive and well.

Did you find an empty shell? The pic below is a crab molt, looks like a half eaten crab but it is only a molt, it can be very deceiving. If you picked up the shell and a body fell out, that's one thing. However if you saw what looked like a body on the sandbed (not moving) but there was no shell around, then it's probably a molt.
