My guess is that Voldemort's body did not remain intact. It seems to 
me that he would have tried to resurrect his original body if it 
still existed rather than go through the complicated flesh, blood and 
bone procedure. Even if that were unfeasible, it seems he would have 
at least pondered the option if his corpse still existed. 

If his body had not been destroyed, it would also mean that there are 
two Voldemorts out there, one living and one dead. 

Voldemort's physical destruction may have resulted from a side effect 
of the "love shield" which protected Harry, or may have been an 
effect of the various "experiments" the Dark Lord said that he 
performed upon himself in his quest for immortality (GoF, Chap. 33)
