FOXDIE kills instantly when it takes effect. It has nothing to do with accelerated aging.
And then there's the concept art put out early...with Big Boss.
Placing Big Boss's corpse in that preliminary concept art was Yoji Shinkawa's decision. It had nothing to do with any story plans on Kojima's part.
I heard in twin snakes Ocelot mentions in "the phone call" that no one knows where Big Boss' remains really are... damn i gotta play that!
Don't bother. Ocelot says nothing of the sort, and The Twin Snakes is pretty awful anyway.

Liquid was wrong, or rather, this was retconned as of MGS3. Big Boss was actually cloned while in his forties.
