Great movie, but I need to point out the obvious

They would have noticed Jigsaw was breathing and alive.

and that would solve what?

Could have shot (or threatened to shoot) Jigsaw with Zep's gun. For someone who embraced life so much, I don't think Jigsaw would be willing to die for his little game.

True. I wonder if they would've been able to wake him up.

In Saw III, a flashback shows him taking a sedative that would likely impair his breathing and movement. On the other hand, Lawrence should have figured that the "corpse" wasn't in a state of decomposition or whatever, being a doctor.

Or Zep just goes to the police and ask medical help with the poison, while also leading the police to John.

It takes time to find out how the poison works and what antidotes can be used to stop it. He would risk dying if he went to the authorities for help, so he chose to do what Jigsaw instructed him to do.

Jigsaw wasn't an expert with chemicals, it's very unlikely that he used some kind of rare poison.

On top of that, Zep’s clearly having too much fun terrorising Gordon’s family so the twist that revealed him to be an merely a test subject felt half-assed and somewhat forced.

Saw IV did a better job of incorporating the unwilling accomplice/pawn aspect with Art Blank.
