i don't have a fish but i think this is a interesting question so what the heck i wanna knnow
 
A dead fish can float or sink depending on it's air sack. If the sack is full of air, the fish will float and if not, the fish will sink.

It's just a matter of physics really.
 
Actually fish usually go to the bottom. Until gases build up in the carcasse then it will float. But if its in a community tank then it will be eaten before that.
You asked becasue you didn't know!
