The soft tissues of the bodies would have converted into a soap-like substance, in a process called saponification, before eroding away altogether. There would have been skeletal remains at some point in the past. They're all gone now. The calcium-depleted water leached the bones away over time. Strangely, leather survives in that pitch-black, freezing, high-pressure environment. Apparently, the deepwater organisms do not seem to like leather, Although they love wood. There are actually eerie indentations in the bottom sediment where some of the bodies once came to rest, with pairs of leather shoes at the end of the indentations. A little creepy, and educational too.

Until the Titanic discovery by Dr. Robert Ballard in 1985, this was not known.
