What happened to the bodies of the two witnesses after they are killed?

After the two witnesses are killed, their bodies lie on the streets of Jerusalem, and the whole world sees them. This visibility is presented as a literal event, with the text noting that before the advent of television and Telstar, people wondered how everyone on earth could see the two dead bodies.

Les explains that at the end of the three and a half years, the two witnesses hear a great voice from heaven saying, 'Come up hither.' This implies they have been killed, and their bodies will lie on the streets of Jerusalem. The whole world will see them. Les points out that before television and Telstar, people wondered how everyone on earth could witness those two dead bodies lying in Jerusalem.
