How Long It Would Take For A Bloated Body To Rise To The Surface written on Wednesday, April 06, 2005 by Mysteries/Conspiracies Poster Submitted by: Jeff Meville If you throw a dead body in the river, with cinderblocks attached to it, and you throw it in the river, how long will it take for the bloated body to rise to the surface? The conclusion: With the help of former-mystery-solving person Nathan Dutnall, we performed an experiment with Tomek Gnojowy’s dead body. The cinderblocks have washed Tomek’s dead body down to the bottom of the South Saskatchewan River. It has been three months and his body has still not appeared.
