[DC/Vertigo] What would have happened if the cult did capture Death at the beginning of Sandman?

What would the repercussions be? Would the endless have gotten involved at that point to do something? Would the Justice League or other magical beings in DC do something? Would death even really stop since there's a few incarnations of death unlike there is with dream? Or would her realm run itself like Dream's sorta did while she waits to be freed.

The dreaming itself started to fade away while Dream was imprisoned, while some people slipped into an eternal slumber while others couldn't sleep at all ever again. 

Death doesn't really have a realm but Dream hints at something happening if they had managed to catch Death, so it's likely people would have stopped dying and then at some point lots of powerful entities would have taken notice.
