How does Huck know that the drowned body that is found is not his Pap?
Softball41
In Chapter 3 of the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" Huck says "Well, about this time he was found in the river drownded, about twelve mile above town, so people said. They judged it was him, anyway; said this drownded man was just his size, and was ragged, and had uncommon long hair, which was all like pap; but they couldn't make nothing out of the face, because it had been in the water so long it warn't much like a face at all. They said he was floating on his back in the water. They took him and buried him on the bank. But I warn't comfortable long, because I happened to think of something. I knowed mighty well that a drownded man don't float on his back, but on his face. So I knowed, then, that this warn't pap, but a woman dressed up in a man's clothes. So I was uncomfortable again. I judged the old man would turn up again by and by, though I wished he wouldn't."

Huck knows that the drowned body is not his Pap because he recognizes the dead man as someone else from a different town. Pap is not familiar with the deceased, so Huck is sure that it's not his father.

What happened to huckleberry Finns father?
The dead man found in the floating house in chapter 9 was pap. The man was shot in the back, and Jim told Huck not to look at his face because it was "too gashly." He then covered him up with rags, but, at the time, Huck didn't even look at him once because he didn't want to see him. Huck did not know until the last page of the book that that was his father, when Jim revealed the identity of the dead man in the house.
