Stack or heap? What's that?

No.

The destructor is automatically called when the GC detects that the 
object is no longer reachable, just before it releases the memory held 
by it.

If you trigger the destructor to run by a DeleteExpression, then

file:///e:/dmd/html/d/expression.html#DeleteExpression
"The pointer, dynamic array, or reference is set to null  after the 
delete is performed."

For example:

     class Qwert {}

     void main() {
         Qwert yuiop = new Qwert;
         delete yuiop;
         assert (yuiop is null);
     }

but this behaviour is part of DeleteExpression, not of the destructor.
