Matter and antimatter are mirror image forms of mass. That thing we call mass has a characteristic called inertia, which is the resistance to change in momentum p = mv; where m is the inertial mass and v is its velocity. To change the mass, the velocity, or both over time requires an external net force, without which neither would change. That's why we say mass has inertia, which means resistance to change.
Both animate and inanimate objects are made up of mass. They both have inertia. The amount of mass in either an inanimate object or in a living object depends on the object's volume and mass density rho = m/V; where V is the volume of the object. Muscle, for example, is denser (Rho) than fat (rho).
Therefore, rho < Rho; and m/V = rho < Rho = M/V and that gives m < M. So the mass of a fat person with V volume is less than the mass of a muscular one with the same volume. This is in part the reason fat people tend to float in water better than muscular ones. (There's more to flotation, but mass is a contributor.)
Bottom line, matter is pretty much the same, inanimate or animate. So the physics relative to mass is similar, if not exactly the same, for living or dead regardless. The major differential lies in the electro-chemical characteristics of animate and inanimate objects. These characteristics are way more complex in animate, living objects than in inanimate objects.

An object is considered a mass structure with a certain volume and weight.
All mass structures contain atoms which forms the architecture of the object.
Humans are a Creation and are made up of atoms which also forms their architecture.
However there is a Soul and Spirit inside of man which distinguishes from atomic structure and what that is in terms of matter, Physics has no theory or description of what kind of substance it is.

Density (Ï) as it is defined by physical law is given as the amount of mass (m) per unit volume (v).
Mathematically it is written as: Ï = m/v
That goes for anything, living or not, and if the mass and/or the volume is changing then you'd have to take the instantaneous mass, or volume, or both into account.
i.e. dÏ = (dm/dt)/(dv/dt) = dm/dv....same result actually, so you'd have to have the relationship between mass and volume if this were the case, but this would be the exception, not the rule, so you'd want the first equation I gave you.

1- all objects, full-matter.
2- none demonstrated, yet
