Carol responds:
Well, one thing is certain: either LV himself or the DEs took the body
since the Order members didn't find it. However, since we didn't get a
peg-legged Inferius, I suspect that Mad-Eye's body suffered the same
fate as Charity Burbagge's (and, by inference, Frank Bryce's and
Bertha Jorkins's, since they, too, were never found): LV fed them to
Nagini to dispose of the evidence (and give his dear Nagini a treat).
In GoF, he promises to feed Wormtail to Nagini and, when Wormtail is
off the hook, consoles her with the promise (also unfulfilled) of
Harry Potter. So I'd say it's a safe bet that she gets Mad-Eye as well
as Charity in DH.

As for how Umbridge got Mad-Eye's eye, I assume that it and the leg
were undigestible and she spat them out, leaving the eye available for
the taker. And when Umbridge found out that Mad-Eye was dead, she
requested it from Selwyn, her DE connection.

Carol, noting that Selwyn, unlike Lucius, seems to have gotten his
wand back when LV was through with it
