They were found in the crew cabin on the Atlantic Ocean floor off the coast of Florida.
All of the bodies were recovered, but it was never determined how the astronauts died. It is assumed they died due to the impact with the ocean, and not the explosion itself.
What was left of them, yes.
You know what happens when you leave the cover off the blender and then start it? That's the condition the bodies were in.

Sadly none of the astronauts in the Challenger at the time of explosion lived. The last thing that was heard from the shuttle was commander Dick Scobee saying "Roger. Go for throttle up."
The Challenger was a space shuttle orbiter that took astronauts into space for studies. The Challenger completed a total of nine missions into space.
Seven died (explosion January 1986.)
7, the standard crew.
Seven. The max crew is eight.

Their bodies would become very weak.
