At the rapture, will any remains of the body be left behind?

Or will the people raptured simply vanish without a trace?
I ask this because without a "body", determination of death
cannot be verified (for insurance claims, etc.).

The body, if there is one, will be changed from corruptible to incorruptible.

You mean like clothing, fillings, replacement hips, etc?

Probably... All the original stuff, like skin, bones, organs, most likely will vanish.

I like to think of it like how the Left Behind series depicts it, at least as far as the rapture is concerned...

I ask this because the "spiritual body" is not like the "natural body". Seems that if a "shell" (cocoon) was left behind, it would appear like you just dropped dead. 1 Cor 15:44
