Plot question: not yet released scifi novel

[Dennis]

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

[V.W.]

Not sure, but relish i.e. vinegar and sugar is denser than water. so it is possible that the body would float. It also might depend on the person's body. I he/she muscular, fat, thin, etc. Heavy boots, work belt, etc would also make a difference.
