Legendary scientist Marie Curie’s tomb in the Panthéon in Paris. Her tomb is lined with an inch thick of lead as radiation protection for the public. Her remains are radioactive to this day.
There's a video somewhere (edit: this is the video I was talking about, @3:15-4:05) of someone touring her old office/lab and there's still strong radioactive readings coming from the things she regularly touched, like the doorknob and her office chair - and she died nearly 100 years ago (1934).
If the woman was a work of fiction, she'd have either become a superhero or a Ghoul.

I wonder if her body is decomposing differently? Is the radiation actively killing off bacteria?

is there a point where the radiation preserves you?
