Yes - all of the crew remains were recovered when the Shuttle Crew Compartment was discovered during recovery operations in the weeks following the accident. It was determined from both evidence in the compartment and autopsies that several were still alive after the explosion (emergency oxygen canisters had been activated) and that they survived until impacting the ocean.

What space tragedy occured on January 28 1986?
Challenger Destroyed 73 seconds into LaunchThe NASA space shuttle Challenger, carrying 7 astronauts on orbital mission STS-51-L, exploded during the launch, killing all on board including the first "teacher in space" Christa McAuliffe. The other six killed were pilot Michael J. Smith, mission commander Dick Scobee, and specialists Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Judith Resnik.The external fuel tank, containing tons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen, was ruptured by a flare of hot gas from one of the two solid-propellant booster rockets, causing a breakup that destroyed the vehicle. The shuttle crew compartment and the two SRB boosters (both remotely destructed) all fell into the ocean. The bodies of the astronauts were not recovered until March 9th.
What condition were the bodies of challenger and discovery?
The Challenger struck the water at such a high rate of speed that finding all the pieces afterward was a very daunting task. Some pieces even washed ashore eleven years after the disaster. The bodies (or more accurately, some of their remains) were sent to their families for burial, with two being buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The rest of the remains were buried in a communal plot. The Discovery was not known to have produced any disaster. The Columbia, however, disintegrated upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Parts of the shuttle, as well as human remains, were found scattered over parts of North and East Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Did the Challenger crew land in the ocean and were they ever found?
The crew compartment was separated from the rest of the shuttle soon after the fuel tank ruptured. It crashed into the ocean with a force of 200g's, and this is thought to have killed the crew, although they were probably unconscious at the time. The cabin was found relatively intact, although damaged, along with the bodies of the crew.
