Smith's XXX or XXX of Smith

Smith's corpse as well as Jordan's were partly skeletonized.

Is it possible to write this sentence as:
"The corpses of Smith as well as Jordan were partly skeletonized."?

Thank you.

Thank you. No. I guess the sense of "as well as" is similar to that of "in addition to", and the plural "corpses" clashes with that.
