How do you know if a person drowned or died before drowning?

Why does a ship made of iron floats while a piece of iron sinks?
Because the ship contains a large amount of air in it. But iron nail doesn't have any space to contain air in it. Air is a lightest thing. That can't sink in water. This method is used in submarines to sink it. There is a tank in the submarine. When they need to sink it they fill the tank with water. To float it they use to fill the tank with air.
Why do needle sinks in water but ship floats?
Whether something sinks when it's placed on water is determined by the amount (weight) of water that it displaces. The needle, being small in size and relatively high in mass (relative to its size), displaces very little water when it is placed on the surface. The weight of the needle will be more than the weight of the water that it displaces and the needle will sink. The ship, though many times heavier than the needle, will displace alot more water than the needle. The ship will float if the weight of the displaced water is more than the weight of the ship.
A steel needle sinks in h20 but a steel ship floats?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
Why does needle drown in water while ship does not?
Mass per surface area. A needle has a very small surface area thereby it can't displace its mass in water very well, while a ship has a very large surface area allowing it to push on a large volume of water to support its mass. A needle is like a sharp knife and a ship is like a very dull knife. By the way if you are very careful while placing you can get a needle to float on water.
