How long does it take for biological matter to decay in space?

I have been looking up a few different theories lately. And one of those is the idea that intelligent life cannot exist for any long period of time without eradicating itself or being destroyed by outside influences.

My question assumes all hypothetical life that may exist within 30LY of Earth died between now and 200yrs from now. With humanity managing to obtain a limited form of faster than light travel by 250 years from now. Would the bodies of these life forms still be intact inside of their spaceships in the cold depths of the void?
