I believe many of the stabs were from after he was already dead as well

As a consequence of logistics, or out of squeamishness? Either way, it's largely symbolic.

Squeamishness, I think. They wanted to say they stabbed him but were scared to do it first

If the twenty people in front of you have already had a stab then he's probably dead by the time it's your turn

It's a matter of principle.
