Sort of,

its the gasses produced by those bacteria that makes it float.

Do dead bodies float on water?

Yes, because they contain gases from the decomposition.


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.


Why don't the bodies of the people float after the ships sink in the Bermuda Triangle?

the bodies of people don't float because of the currents in the water and cause of the weight so the bodies will remain underwater.


How does an egg float on water you needc a diagram to explain it?

I dont have a diagram but a raw egg floats on water.Why? Because there is decomposition inside the egg so you know that decomposition produces carbon dioxide causing the egg to float


Why is it that you float on water?

Because water is more dense then our bodies so when things are more dense they sink to the bottom and when they are less dense they float to the top


Why do dead bodies sink?

Dead bodies sink primarily due to their density being greater than that of water. Initially, after death, bodies may float due to gases produced by decomposition, but as decomposition progresses, these gases escape, and the body's density increases. Once the gases are released and the body begins to lose buoyancy, it will eventually sink. Factors like clothing, water temperature, and salinity can also influence buoyancy.


Why a man can float in a dead sea?

because it has so much salt in it that it enables the body to float instead of sinking in the water


Why is it easy to float in the a salt water lake?

It is easier to float in a saltwater lake compared to freshwater because the higher salt content increases the water's density. This increased density makes it easier for objects, including our bodies, to float on the surface of the water.


Why don't the bodies of the people float after the ships sink in Bermuda triangle?

because there are electrical curronts and the curronts of the water.


How do you get the dead bodies to float in COD 5?

i think by getting it into the water well it should float


Why is it easier to float in the ocean than fresh water?

It is easier to float in the ocean than in fresh water because ocean water is denser due to the presence of salt. The salt increases the density of the water, making it easier for objects, like our bodies, to float. In fresh water, there is less salt, so the density is lower, making it harder to float.


Does oil float on fresh water?

yes , because oil is less denser than water
