YES!!! Human density is 0.97 of 100 for water. So since we are less dense than water , we will float. Added to which nature gives us a pair of 'water wings' , they are called 'lungs'.

When will a drowned body float?
Generally what happens is that after drowning and floating for a day or so, a body will sink for a few days until gases due to decomposition make it float again.

The warmer the water, the quicker this process happens.In either case, a forensic doctor will be able to determine when the 'drowned body' first became drowned, and you won't get away with your crime.
