The guards do respawn after a while. They will want to send you to the mines. I don't know how Skyrim handles the spawns, but if it's like Oblivion, the corpses will move around to where they would have been had they been alive if they were an "essential" part of a quest. But since they died, they weren't.
The funniest thing I saw was in Oblivion where the misplaced sword swing by an Imperial guard in the Imperial City that accidently struck another Imperial Guard and every Imperial guard in the city began chasing him, thus unleashing my crime spree. He ran and ran and ran and ran. I ransacked about 5 mansions and when I got out of the fifth they were coming up the road again on a second lap. Then the night shift got involved and ended it.
