What happens to a body that is buried at sea?

When a body is buried at sea, it typically sinks to the ocean floor, where it may be subject to decomposition due to marine bacteria and scavengers. Surrounding conditions, such as temperature and pressure, can influence the rate of decomposition. Over time, the body may become part of the marine ecosystem, providing nutrients for various organisms. In some cases, if the burial is not deep enough, the body may eventually rise back to the surface due to gases produced during decomposition.
