If Jesus was killed why didn't he stay dead? If you return to life and hang out with your buddies on fishing trips were you ever really dead?
How did all of those corpses pop out of their graves and go visit their buddies in Jerusalem? Imagine how much people were surprised when someone they had buried years ago showed up on their doorsteps, looking very dead indeed and stinking like it. I'll bet that the people are still going through purifications rituals after 2,000 years.
