How could the volume of a person be found? I mean using DIY methods, rather than laboratory facilities!

But make sure you seal up all orifices first - gaffer tape will do...
I suggest IMM as a subject...

If IMM is doing it, he could just wear his gimp suit. No gaffer tape required.

Hey, I was just about to say that!
Another method, is just to assume an average density of 1000 kg/m^3 so if the body weighs, say, 80kg the volume must be fairly close to 80 litres.
Anyway, why does the OP want to know?

Obesity is big problem. The government is outlawing it by restricting the fatty foods fatties eat. Soon fatties will be totally out of order for being what they are - which isl be a menace to society.

Weigh person.
Go to swimming pool. Float in water and make estimation of amount of body that it above water line.
Note the volume will vary considerably whether or not a breath has been taken or not.
Add the weight in kg to the volume above the water line (in litres). This gives the volume of the whole person in litres.
