You could leave it in a tank for a couple of days with a privet leaf and see if it eats any. I don't expect it will start to smell having such thick skin, and I don't think you can check in any certain way. If its legs stiffen up to its body it will be dead.
I love stick insects! I used to have over 200 of them.

First of all i'm sorry to hear of your stick insect. Why not bury it in the garden in a little box? I think they are lovely and would love to have one some day.

If it hasn't moved since you wrote this, it is dead, I,m afraid.
Put it in a Blackberry bush. The universal stick-Insect food.

Waste not, want not. Shallow fry in a little extra virgin olive oil with chopped garlic, ginger, & little seasoning. Five minutes should be okay & turn once. If it starts twitching then it was still alive but will be too late to save.

oh dear... i am afraid you will have to let it go and put it the garden or local park among the twigs and leaves to decompose. Let nature take it courses. The body is just a shell now and think of it as if spirit has float away. You can (if you want to keep it) make a collection to put on display like butterflies...
sorry for your loss.

Wait a week until it's dessicated and then thread on some small pieces of mushroom, peppers, chicken and baby tomatoes.
Voila! An eco friendly kebab for the barbeque!

Bury it, it might grow into a say, a "Tree" Insect

I think you should have a funeral for it and bury is somewhere where it will not be dug up and eaten by another animal...that could be devastating. A proper ceremony is always good closure...I'm really sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences over your sad loss.
What about popping it into a full box of twiglets and offering them to the mother in law when she next descends on you.
Or cover it in peanuts and melted chocolate and eat it as a TREAT.
