Molting is a stressful time, however, sometimes after molting a shrimp is much less active, may hide, etc.

I found it’s what j in thought to be molt but I think it’s the shrimp this time because it looked like there was flesh attached

OH I think I get it - you are wondering if you could be looking at the body since there was 'something' attached. I don't think you can tell. If you found the 'skin' and then another 'thing' - its the shrimp died if you just found the skin - the shrimp will re-appear in a couple days
