One thing to note is that with the battery dead, the hydraulic pump will not work, so you will have to lift the trunk's weight plus overcome the hydraulics. In other words, you will need some help to open the trunk. While some one turns the key, other person lifts the trunk. Once open, access the door latch release in the trunk as Hawkeye mentioned.
