The way I've always understood it is that their body continues to 
live, but the person himself is gone.  So the body of Barty Crouch 
is probably at St. Mungos or some other facility, where it is taken 
care of as an animal would be.  The person, Barty Crouch (or 
whomever it may be), no longer exists.  The consciousness of the 
person is destroyed.
