Beside, a laser gun can penetrate anything, let alone oberstein's lean body. Of course, I can be wrong since my books are not here with me. They didn't check the body because it was still tridition not to bother a dead noble as a kind of respect. (That is straight guessing) Further, Asbach surrendered. Legion, - no, it is not 'sick' to be like Oberstein, he is just being logical - like any vulcan.
