Kind of. I’ve read that Assad wanted to leave everthing as is, don’t know about bodies, as a warning to other towns backing the Muslim Brotherhood. Same names always come up. His generals thought that would be explosive on the world scene, and convinced him leveling the city (after over 3 weeks of shelling) would be an adequate deterrent. Don’t know if that’s true. Bulldoze it he did. And effective, lots of the Brotherhood leadership left the country.

Granted, I got the information from the book “From Beirut To Jerusalem” written by the loser Thomas Friedman which I read over 20 years ago. Supposedly, Friedman asked a local where all the bodies were buried and the man replied “right here, under your feet”.
