If a human died in a vat of pickle relish, would it float or sink?

Sink

I agree with Tana that it would sink, especially if face-up. As I understand it, bodies sink when the lungs fill with liquid, then float days later during decomposition. But if pickled, decomposition would probably not take place. (Nasty way to go!)
