I pulled up multiple articles in my search and the initial opening all used "is" for dead characters. However what they said was "is the former" rather than using the term "was". Either way is fine...I just don't feel it's incorrect to say "is" nor am I disagreeing that "was" is correct.

Unrelated and this is just a minor thing (not to be rude by pointing it out) but it's spelled detective, not dedective.
