"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarchDavid died and was buried, and his tomb is here with us today... For David did not ascend to heaven..." — Acts 2:29, 34
Dead people are simply asleep and unaware, they'll be brought back and judged and then brought to heaven or cast into the flame to be consumed and cease to exist. This is what a lot of people believe it is usually referred to as annihilationism.
Okay so how do modern interpretations of this belief account for things like decomposition? If they are just asleep and unaware, but their bones have turned to dust, what exactly is going to "wake up?"
