Depending on where you are in space, this will take 12-26 hours, but if you're close to a star, you'll be burnt to a crisp instead. Either way, your body will remain that way for a long time. Gut bacteria will start to eat you from the inside out, but not for long, so you will decompose very slowly.

It takes around 12 hours for a human body to be cool to the touch and 24 hours to cool to the core. Rigor mortis commences after three hours and lasts until 36 hours after death. Forensic scientists use clues such as these for estimating the time of death.

How long does it take clothes to decompose in landfill? Swipe right to find out... And according to Down2Earthmaterials, other materials like leather takes about 25 to 40 years, thread between 3 to 4 months and cotton about 1 to 5 months. That's a lot of gas-emitting time we'd rather save our environment from, I'd say.
