I do know from people who were involved with the recovery mission for Challenger that the crew compartment was found intact. That the cause of death could not be determined. That the forces caused from the initial breakup did not likely cause death or serious injury, but that they likely lost consciousness moments after the breakup due to loss of crew cabin pressure.
