Jim
In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Huck's father dies. Jim finds him when he and Huck are floating down the river on a raft. They find a floating house and inside Jim find the dead body of Huck's father.
Huck finds out what happened to his father in the final chapters of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn when he discovers his pap's dead body in a floating house. Huck's initial relief turns into confusion and later grief upon realizing his father's demise.
Jim and Huck find the house to be a mess, and find whiskey, playing cards, and obscene graffiti (symbolizing human vices). Most importantly, they find the body of Huck's murdered father, who was shot in the back. Jim makes sure Huck doesn't see his face, so Huck doesn't know that his father was killed.

The house Jim and Huck find is floating down the river, which is unusual because houses are typically stationary structures on land.

Huck reveals his father, Pap, to be abusive, neglectful, and selfish. Pap is depicted as a drunken, violent man who cares only about his own interests and does not provide a loving or stable environment for Huck.
Key to their adventure was finding a large Raft. At oher times in the story they found other objects like wrecked steam boat, a canoe and a house.
Huck and Jim take a straw hat, some clothes and bottles, and other miscellaneous household items. Later, when they go through an overcoat they found in the floating house, they find eight dollars in a pocket.
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.
In the very last part of "Huckleberry Finn," Jim tells Huck that his father, Pap Finn, has died a few days ago in the floating house. He also shares that Tom Sawyer has been shot in the leg while escaping Jim Turner's gang, but is expected to recover.
In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Huck's father, Pap, is found dead in a house that floats down the river. It is implied that he dies from excessive drinking and possibly from a fight.
