Dunno, but I'm guessing it's for the same reason why he didn't just AK Hermione instead of using a troll? We haven't been told the full extent of magic useful for forensics in this story

An AK'ed corpse in particular should be pretty easy to diagnose; the total lack of any other apparent causes of death should give it away.

However, there's nothing in particular to prevent feeding the corpse to any of the various horrible creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
