Andurs, the resident priest of Arkay that cares for these corpses hasn't reported these happenings to the Jarl, however. He is quite aware of the reason behind these drainings. An ancient vampire going by the name of Vero Darke has found refuge in these halls, feeding on the stale blood of corpses to keep him on his feet.
Vero had been making Tamriel unsafe for centuries, and would have continued to do so if it weren't for the Dawnguard, who hunted him down and wounded him gravely.
