No, John's body was taken to a Paris research facility by Abstergo, using his Sage DNA for their genome project. As for Juno and Modern Day - I think most people will agree that Unity did not have much modern day story at all, and Rogue wasn't exactly top-notch in that department either if you ask me.

Personally, yes, I'm in favor of third person modern-day segments, rather than this 'you're playing yourself'-idea.
