Yes, quite possibly. Hedgehogs sometimes lie flat with their legs stretched out to lose heat. A wildlife rescue describes that exact “legs sticking out” posture as something hedgehogs do when they’re hot.
But if it was completely unresponsive and ignored food, it could also have been suffering from heat stress or dehydration. You did the right thing by leaving out water and biscuits.
