This is known as dead weight, and it's the weight of the person at the time he died. The body does not get any lighter or heavier then when the person passed away.

They don't: a dead body weighs the same as its normal weight. It seems heavier because if the person is alive, they can balance and help be more convenient to carry.

Is atheism dead and God alive?

Atheism is real and functioning, so in all respects one would certainly consider it alive. As there has never been any substantial evidence for any god, if the choices are 'alive' or 'dead' then one could consider God to be dead, if that is your choice.However with no evidence to provide God does not exist, then one can equally consider the opposite that God is very much alive.


How can your body produce antibodies against dead viruses?

A virus doesn't have to be alive for the body to produce antibodies against it. Antibodies recognize the physical appearance of a virus. By using dead viruses the immune system is taught to look out for a live virus with the same characteristics of the dead one, but you don't risk being infected by the virus.
