I've wondered the same thing. The naming similarities aside, thier creation due to the "Heart Stones" is interesting. They seem to be either remenants of the Heart of Lorkhan, or stones that have somehow taken in a small vestige of its power. That would make sense, since the Heart of Lorkhan cannot be truly destroyed. It would make sense that it would continue to exist in one fashion or another. Not only that, the Heart which was used by Dagoth Ur to creat the Corpus disease. The Ash spawn only began when ashes from Red mountain, likely infected with Corpus disease from centuries of exposure by Dagoth Ur. It could be that the dead are being reanimated by the Heart stones, while also being infected with a new strain of Corpus disease. Kind of makes you think. If the Heart could survive, could Dagoth?
