So a balloon is weightless? The air was contained in the body at the time of death... very similar to a ballon. It really depends on how sensitive a scale we are talking about here... and how much air one can hold in their lungs.
Wouldn't one also release a number of gasses out of their anus upon death? If I am remembering this correctly... then the anus is a muscle that is contracted for most of the day. Upon death, it would be logical for these gases to escape as well (note, not rapidly)... so the body would lose the weight of at least two holdings of air when it dies.
At least, this is if I am remembering correctly. Both of these should make up some weight... but again: this depends on scale sensitivity, and the time in which a person was confirmed dead and weighed.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
