How long will it take for a drowned victims body to float?
Bodies start to float once the gas from decomposition replaced the water inside the lungs. It is effected by the depth and temperature or the water. In warm water it can be as soon as 1 to 2 days in 80 degree water, or as much as 14 to 20 days in freezing cold water.

Why do dead body float on water?
Dead bodies float on water much the same way living bodies do. And yes, living bodies do float on water. But if you panic and exhale, you will sink. IF you stay calm and keep your lungs inflated you will float. This is because of density. Anything less dense than water floats, and anything more dense than water sinks. Our human bodies have a density close to that of water and we WILL float if we keep our chest expanded and lungs filled with air. When people drown, their lungs are full of water and they sink. After a number of hours, up to a few days, gases from decomposition trapped inside their body make them buoyant and they will float. Then carrion eaters, blow flies, and other flesh eating creatures will puncture through their tissues, releasing the trapped gases, and causing them to sink again.
