Bacteria in the body forms gases which cannot escape, thus causing the bloating of the body.
In Detail:
Human body is basically made of organic materials like carbohydrates which when decompose will break up into CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and H2O (Water).
As we all know, when the state of a material changes from either solid or liquid to gas the volume of the material increases.
Due to this change of state and no way for the gases to escape, the dead body swells.
In due course of time when the gas builds up more pressure and tears up the surface to find an escape path. That is why a decomposed body is watery.
