As the organisms decompose the nitrogen (and most other components) in the body are utilized by any organisms that eat it. Whether that is fungi, bacteria, insects, scavenging animals is arbitrary. All the materials that make up an are mainly Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen along with an assortment of minerals all of which will be recycled in one form or another into other members of the living community. Elements are not destroyed in the process of decomposition but the complex molecules are broken down.
