      Hmm, that’s a good question. You wouldn’t live very long, just a few minutes until you ran out of air.

      I don’t know how long your body would last, that could be a very long time because most of the processes that cause bodies to decompose require oxygen to do their thing, so you’d probably be a very well preserved corpse!
