When someone drowns they sink to the bottom of the water as their lungs and stomack fil with water.
As the body decomposes the cells begin to break down and fill with gasses. the body slowly gains negative bouyancy and after a few days will float.
the temperature of the water affects how rapidly the boy decomposes which is why someone who drowns ina a pool or water water will float after two days and a person who fals throughthe ice doesn't come up until spring.

Actually the density of the body other than the head (cerebral portion) is lower than water. It is only the cerebral portion which is heavier than water and tends to sink down and for taking breath is necessary to keep the nose ( cerebral portion) above the water level. If the requirement of taking breath is removed one can float ones body lying upside down over the water surface due to the floating structure (as per the Archimedes principle) of the head. But this is not practical due to the requirement of taking breath. In a dead body due to bacterial and fungal activities gases are decomposed and trapped in side the cerebral portion due to which the cerebral part starts floating and hence the entire body starts floating. It is always observed that a dead body floats upside down.

Actually, the degredation of the body tissues due to bacteria produces gas and it makes the body float.
But, this takes a very long time for decomposition to happen. If its in cold water, the decomposition rate slows down. In warm water it speeds up.
After a body is in the water, it may take a week or more, for a body to show up in a river, because of the cold water inhibiting decomposition or bacterial growth in the body.
I wish you well..

After a while the inside of the body decomposes and fills with gas that makes it float. Before they had trained diving teams to look for drowning victims, they usually had to wait until springtime when the corpses came up as "floaters" from that gas bloating.

our body is physically matter with some mass.
when we are alive our soul which is present inside the body provides it the force necessary to dive inside any water body by the effort and prevents water from entering into our body.
this condition is similar to the following:
a foreign matter entering a fluid and has its own force to plunge into the fluid.
when we are dead by entering a pond or ocean our soul will part away and water will start entering our stomach and it provides the bouyancy wherein the body is also filled with water of similar density and it is capable of floating in the water.
like a ship is filled with water inside to make it remain afloat in ocean.

Dead bodies putrefy, that is, they rot. The putrefaction process releases gases. Until the body rots enough that it disintegrates, those gases are trapped; that makes the body bloat. The pockets of gas make the body lighter than water, so it floats.

Because the body get filled with air.

because it has still air in his lungs and that keeps the corpse floating
