Napoleon 3 dies at Sedan

If Napoleon was killed in battle at Sedan, rather than captured, would this make any major difference on what form the French government after Sedan, and after the war, would take?
Any chance of him being seen as a martyr?

Or what if he is captured, but then shot and killed later on by a trigger happy soldier, what then?

What if Napoleon orders the Army of Châlons to fight to the last man so that not only he, but the entire Army of Châlons dies? Would the French even obey such an order?
