I am not sure if I have asked this question before but deleted it, but I was
just wondering if Matsuda and the other detectives found out that

> Light died

If they did:

  * Would they have made an investigation to see if somebody else had a Death Note and wrote his name in it?

  * Did they think that he wrote his own name with the paper he had from the Death Note?

  * Did they think that Ryuk wrote his name in the Death Note?

  * Or did they just go back to their regular lives, and

> tell Misa and Light's family that Light was Kira and that he died?

Those are the only options I have in my head, so I was just wondering if any
of those options happened.

question
death-note
What happened to everyone else after the ending of Death Note?


**Several members of the Kira Task force (that Light was in charge of), as
well as Near's team, were present during the climax where**

> Light is exposed as Kira by Teru Mikami when Light's name is the only one
> not written in the Death Note.

The task force knew about Death Notes since

> Rem gave it to Kyosuke Higuchi and the task for caught him in possession of
> it

Which is revealed much earlier in the story.

Near realized Kira would likely use a catspaw to throw suspicion from himself
so simply finding the person in physical possession of a Death Note wasn't
enough. He had to make sure he found the Death Note, and make Kira believe
he'd won so he would show himself.

So Near

> Replaced the pages of the Death Note held by Teru Mikami (though Light was
> still the owner), and allowed Light to lure everyone to the creepy abandoned
> warehouse where Teru Mikami called Light "God" and wrote the names of
> everyone present, except Light. Proving Light was actually Kira.

With Kira's real identity exposed, there was no reason to go hunting for other
Kiras or other Death Notes - they had found the root cause.

Depending on if it's the manga/movies/anime Misa

> Kills herself, or it's heavily implied she does.

As for the task force, my guess is they continued working as an anti-Kira
taskforce in some capacity, at least in the manga, because

> The manga ends with a group of Kira's followers praying for his return.
