Not really.  What would Peter's newly dead body have proved?  Only
that instead of being killed 13 years earlier he'd managed to get
away and had been in hiding ever since.  Somehow Sirius found out he
was still alive and got out of Azkaban to finish the job - the
animagus explanation would suffice here, as Sirius would have
recognized Peter from the newspaper photo.

A live Peter Pettigrew would have been necessary to overturn the
accepted version of the truth.
