Any pieces found yet, or was it totally destroyed?

I do not think it has come down yet.

The 'new' smaller pieces are STILL in orbit and will re-enter at the same time that the entire satellite would have re-entered in the first place, as the orbit decays. It's just that there are no large pieces any longer that might survive the re-entry without burning up.
