In the present time, Kimihiko found himself solving new cases and he is now called the detective since Siesta is already dead. Kimihiko decided to take these cases and met Nagisa who claims herself as a legendary detective, surprising him. It was later revealed that Siesta donated her heart to Nagisa to cheat death.
Is Siesta Really Dead and Does She Get Revived in The Detective is Already Dead Anime?
Siesta did die in the series but those who have read the light novel would know that she would be back to life by Volume 5. Since the anime is still ongoing, it would be hard to determine if it would follow the light novel or have a different approach to the story.
As far as what anime fans know, Siesta did donate her heart to Nagisa that caused her to die. But eventually, in the light novel, her heart will return to her body. It appeared that even if her heart was separated from her body, it was her consciousness so when it was returned to her, she was brought back to life. This was possible because of the seed she stole from SPES.
