corpselike
Resembling the dead
Corpselike describes something resembling a dead body—pale, still, cold, or lifeless.
The word usually characterizes appearance rather than actual death: His corpselike pallor alarmed the nurses.
It can describe stillness or lack of animation: She lay corpselike on the couch, barely breathing.
