If you died on the moon, would your body decompose?

If you died on the moon, would your body decompose? There would be no atmosphere, bacteria or anything to decompose it from the outside, but would it start to decompose from the inside out due to the lack of bloodflow, etc?
I need to find this out ASAP! All answers are appreciated.If you died on the moon, would your body decompose?
it wouldn't decompose, as the same conditions that kill you (lack of oxygen, warmth, and water) would kill any bacteria you have inside you. You might mummify though, as all the water inside you would evaporate (if the body is exposed, and not locked inside a spacesuit)... prior to that happening though, you may freeze or cook for a while (depending on where you end up dying, because the temperatures on the moon are extreme)...
you do know that we have living things inside of us don't you=that's why our skin decomposes
It awlays starts within!
Of all things why you should die on the moon, a place much cleaner than earth where we live. Any how after your death why should you bother about your body at all. It is others who have to worry about. however your body decays on moon surface due to inherent water and other molecules present in the body.
Ask the people you're going with.
