2005 CLK500 completely dead

My CLK500 is completely dead. Key won't turn, shifter won't move, only thing working is the clock. Anyone out there have any idea what the problem is. Dead battery,maybe?

Can you lock and unlock the doors? Do the windows move when you open and close the doors?

If the answer to both is no I'm 100% with Rodney!

Battery. Mine was dead, new battery, when I got back from 2 weeks vacation. Turns out I had left the interior light on.
