you would suffocate
letting air etc in makes nonsense of the idea of a closed system
the total amount of heat would rise at 1st , then stabilize ( assuming the material doesnt absorb any heat from within the system )
but what you're really asking is what would the temperature be ( 98.6 f is a measure of temp , not heat )
and it would rise ( both body temp and air temp ) until you die , and the metabolic reactions stopped( whether that be from lack of oxygen , or cell death )
there is no entropy of heat
heat would be generated ( as the expense of cell fuel ) , until death
once this happened , its a closed system , with no mechanism to transform the heat into work
Well entropy can cause heat, however, the idea of 'entropy of heat' is a little goofy.
EDIT: Which on a re-read is pretty much what you said.
My bad
