If an explosive decompression occurred at the time the first body was ejected it could have disabled both pilots before they could don oxygen masks. The aircraft being on autopilot may continue as before for a short time until damage to the stabilizers caused by other exiting equipment resulted in them breaking away. This could account for the body being found several miles away. Some evidence of this occuring should be on the FDR.
