The explosion doesn't actually happen; the body's far too tough for that. It's only a 1 bar to 0 bar pressure change- you experience far worse than that diving and no-one explodes a few metres underwater.

The cause of death is asphyxiation. If exposed to direct sunlight you'd burn but it would take a long while. Freezing is slow. Radiation is slow too.

I'd give them several hours.
