In reality they dont curl up ... they bloat from the anaerobic decomposition gasses in the G/I tract ... then if the buoyancy from these gasses overcomes the pb(lead) weighting they would float up ... otherwise they drift around on the bottom with the current southwards towards Mexico then out into the open sea. The rubber wetsuit, hood, gloves, and boots would prevent anykind of natural consumption by the marine life for a long, long time. The wetsuit would also prevent very much bloating, so that the bodies would likely never surface. Good thing.
