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.
