It's buried in the rules. I just blundered into it two days ago when I
completely read the leader replacement rules.

No. It appears that the suppression marker represents the confusion of
having
to find a new leader.

What I'm not sure about is what quality roll do you use for morale loss
when a
leader dies? I think the rules for leader replacement say something like
a
leader casualty is replaced "immediately", which I interpret to mean
things
happen like this: casualties are inflicted, a new leader is chosen (roll
for
leadership level change), roll for morale effects. Now, of course, you
add
another suppression marker, too. 

I haven't had it happen, but you should also keep track of the old
leadership
value, just in case you roll for the leader casualty and the leader is
alive
and okay.

Nope, no need to re-org. The new leader is chosen automatically. If the
quality drops, you MAY want to re-org to see if the leader is okay.
