Menhard the German does not respawn

[Graask]

I have completed the quest with menhard all the way up to returning his guild sword from the butcher.

When I asked to spar with him, we used real weapons. The problem was, mine had dollmaker poison applied on it so when the fight inevitably ended (with my victory), he said he couldn't fight anymore.

After ending the dialogue, his character walked for a bit and then died. Your only interactions with the body was to rob it or carry, the body wasn't labeled unconscious either. The NPCs of the guild even went to check on him, but after which they do not react (asking for help, calling the guards etc.)

Apparently there are still quests I can do with him, and the marker on the map is exactly where he died. But there is no character I can interact with.

Please help

It seems like you actually killed him. If you kill an NPC, they don't respawn. I think your only solution is to reload a save
