That sounds about right. No decay in the traditional sense, hard vacuum in unfiltered sunlight is going to be a pretty great sterilization method. You'll offgas almost all of your water over time, so you'll be a spooky mummy at least.

Over time the raw power of the sun and random cosmic ray will "decay" you via splitting apart your component molecules, but i dont know if thats enough to truely poof you away or just make you a very bleached mummy.
