Even after boiling?
Life isn't like in the movies. Life is much harder.
From my experiences making homemade chicken soup where the first step is boiling carcass, no boiled bones do not float.

"Dead" bones can float.
'Then' and 'than' are different words - stop confusing them.
I don't think so. Bones are porous so dead bone will be lighter than healthy bone but that's only in air. Underwater the water will fill all the pores and making dead bone about as heavy as healthy bones.
shareI just told you a fact. Dead bones can float sometimes. Countering it with what you think doesn't work. Look it up.
If it's a possibility (and it is) then the OP was just wrong.
Yes bones can float especially older dried bones. Also, people saying the water would get into the porous areas of the bone and make it sink...really? Driftwood and hundreds of other floaty things would like to have a word with that logic.
shareThey can be churned up by turbulent waters.
shareThank You.
