A friend of mine teenage son drowned in a small river over the weekend they cannot find his body. They have had divers search the area and other people and still no sign of the body. How long does it normally take for a body to surface? And what is the rate of decompisition? When do we stop looking for a body and start looking for limbs?

I'm sorry for your loss.
It depends on a lot of things. How full of air the lungs were, amount of body fat, what the body was wearing, a rate of decomposition (which varies). Also if the skin was broken, water could enter the body, thus increasing its density and allowing it to sink.
Also affecting buoyancy are salinity and temperature of the water.
