Not necessarily. A stiff hamster could be asleep or in a state of shock. It is best to check for other signs of life (breathing, movement) before determining if the hamster is dead.

Is my hamster dead it was fine two hours ago and now she is stiff and cold to the touch?
It is possible that your hamster has passed away. The stiffness and coldness to the touch are common signs of death in small animals. It is best to handle the situation with care and consider burying your pet properly.
When i disturb my hamster from sleeping and eating he never squeals or bites me is this normal?
Apart from the fact that you're not supposed to disturb your hamster when it's sleeping or eating, normally a hamster would bite if you did that. It might be that your hamster is simply not aggressive at all, or on the other hand it could be that it's too weak to defend itself because it's ill. It would be best to take the hamster to the vet's just in case to see there's nothing wrong with it.
