How long does it take for a dead body to float to the bottom of a pool? I mean we all know he had to have been high, TMZ says so BUT I am thinking her timeline is off.
Forever. A dead body might 'sink' to the bottom, but it cannot 'float' to the bottom.
Immediately. As soon as the lungs fill with water a human body will sink like a stone. It takes quiet a while for gasses created by decomposition to float the body again. And here I didn’t think I learned anything useful in boot camp.
I think a body sinks pretty quickly. It only later comes to the surface when it bloats and fills with gas.
It depends on too many factors to make a snap judgement. Some people are just not naturally buoyant, doubly so if their lungs are filled with water.
