People do not explode in space. You would die, but you would not explode.He might mean that gases in your body are ripped out and spread across space. This might sound like exploding to some people. Might even be exploding if you have enough gases in you (for whatever reason; someone felt like making a living person space-bomb as a cruel joke).
But indeed, there appears to be a body. All things being equal, we have to go on what we think we know (and understand that it is simply what we think we know, not what is fact). In this case, in the book Fall of Reach, a spartan's jetpack gets damaged and he is sent spinning through space, never to be seen again in any of the books, games, graphic novels, ect.
Given the importance of Spartans in the Haloverse story, I imagine that the body was James'. Although it might be important to note that James was not actually injured and would've died only from starvation or dehydration, and would not have been dead unless that was, say, his victory lap around Reach.
