Ways to tell them apart:
No body consists of two words and can describe the absence of a physical body, like in the context of a crime scene investigation.
Nobody is one word and is an indefinite pronoun that refers to no person.
Remember, if you mean to say not a single person, use nobody as one word.
Use no body when you are specifically talking about an absence of a body, as in scientific or physical contexts.
A quick way to remember is: nobody for no person,no body for no physical form.
