A dead body is only as heavy as the person was in life unless of course the body had decomposed.

A dead body feels heavier because all the muscles are relaxed and not actively supporting the body's weight, making it feel dense and difficult to move. Additionally, the body loses fluids and gases post-mortem, leading to a decrease in buoyancy and an increase in weight.
