I have heard that dead bodies are very heavy. Does anyone know?

Question

if this is true? If so, why is that?

Answer 1

Only as heavy as they were: but 'cos they are totally inert it is like trying to pick up a sack of water - no rigidity to help purchase a hold.

Answer 2

That's a good question.I think it might be true because it is the person's weight.but they arent moving.so like what you can do to test this is go to like a gym or something and go to a bar and hang onto it,and pull yourself up and kep yourself up without moving,thats dead weight.

also a dead body floats in water becasue the organs are decomosing and create gas.thats why sometimes people get bloated when theyre dead or they have been ded for a while.

Answer 3

If you're limp you are more likely to float, but when alive you're tense, you properly relax you'll float, when you're dead you're fully relaxed so you float

That means the dead body is light in weight and not heavy.

Hope that anwers ur query,
take care,
