why the dead body is not to sink in 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.
