hiiii dear .......
When people are alive the density of their body depends on things like how much air there is in their lungs or how much fat they have on their bodies.
When someone dies, once the air has come out of their lungs, their “density” becomes greater than water and they sink. After some time very little “animals” called micorobes start to eat bits from inside the body and this produces lots of gas. This then causes the density of the body to decrease again, as the gas is light, and that means that the body will float up to the surface of the water.

Dead body float in water and human sink in water why?
When someone drowns and dies, the body starts to sink because the air in its lungs is replaced produce enough gas like methane, hydrogen sulphide & carbon dioxide.
As the gas is light the body float back to surface of water.slowly with water thus increasing density.
It remain submerged for some days until the bacteria in the gut and chest cavity.
