Biological reason of floating deadbodies:_

After a healthy humans death in water essential bacteria present in human gut is activated two times and produces immense amount of gases like carbondioxide,methane,hydrogen sulphide,etc which makes the body like balloon and at last density of the body is less than water as a result dead body floats due to the high rate of decomposition ……
