High bypass turbofans don't really "consume" a body. Probably lots of chunks chopped and scattered
What exactly does "consumed" mean if not: "lots of (body) chunks chopped and scattered"?
Based on username...
My presumption... Limbs were separated from the torso and maybe maybe not all entered the nacel. Whatever went in, was then tremendously chopped up by the outer fan blades. Being that it's a high bypass engine some solids might have passed through the bypass. Whatever went inside, towards the engine core, was further shredded by the rotating compressor vanes and stationary guide vanes. Depending on remaining moisture content this fine particulate and must was largely burned, but there's probably a lot of unburned "buildup" as the engine began to also disintegrate.
Plenty was burned since FD had to do the final extinguish on the engine fire.
I saw a small dog once get into I-45 in the Woodlands... 70mph SUV vs 10lb dog... There was a pink cloud of mist and not much else.
