#A cadaver in the water starts to sink as soon as the air in its lungs is replaced with water.

#Once submerged, the body stays underwater until the bacteria in the gut and chest cavity produce enough gas—methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide—to float it to the surface like a balloon.

#The buildup of methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases can take days or weeks

so body start floating

why does the dead body floats in the water?

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.
