Cedric's face isn't described (not on this point, that is), but Riddle 
Sr.'s and his parents' are and they have no scars, or surely the 
police would have noted it.  They appear unharmed.  We don't know for 
sure that Voldemort killed them with Avada Kedavra, but they probably 
were, given the other mention of what the results of AK look 
like--Harry's dazed speculation on his parents' deaths in Moody's 
first class.

Interestingly, then, a failed AK may leave a scar while a successful 
one makes no wound whatsoever.  That makes some kind of sense to me.
