i belive that dead bodies decay because when a person dies an animal comes along and blesses them with the holy spirit. when this procedure is done the animal leaves the situation and then goes and tells his mates to do the same. after this all the animals have a job to fertilize the person by eating all of their flesh away. thatnkyou for reading love animals :D

It floats because after death, the bacteria in the body continue to feed off the host (the body) as the bacteria feeds, and the body continues to decompose, it creates gases that are trapped in the body making the body float. After the body decomposes enough to create openings for the gas to escape the body sinks. This is why someone sinks when they first drown. After they sink, the body starts the decomposition process, creates gases, and floats to the surface.

The reason that dead bodies WEIGH not WEIGHT so much, is because when the person is alive they are supporting their own body weight, but when a person is dead, their body is completely limp which leaves all their weight in your hands. Please tell me that you didn't learn this little piece of trivia from experience. bye now!

There can be a jerk movement but it is not from life. It is a movement from the death processes.

There are bits of air in the lungs, gas in the intestines, and gases released by decomposition that may cause parts of a dead body to move.

A dead body does not weigh more than a live one. However it feels as if it does due to the complete loss of muscle control.
