This decomposing individual died of natural causes while sitting in a warm tub. Note the bloating from putrefactive gases causing the body to float near the surface. People who drown in bathtubs are incapacitated by disease, injury, or intoxication. Sometimes homicide victims are placed in bathtubs to wash evidence off the body. Bodies found in larger areas of water will typically float to the surface as intestinal putrefactive gases increase, causing the rear end to bob up and down with waves similar to an appearance of a tire.
