Well, it's like the process of mummification. Once the body has died, the sells decay as well, making gases that build up in the body. Creating further decaying of the flesh, but not the bones. BUT, the extreme flashes of hot and cold weather prevents these conditions. Thus a mummy/or a non decayed body will remain there until somthing has caused further damage to the corpse.
