"When after a runner has been declared out the runner interferes with a defensive plays oppurtunity to make a play on another runner the runner closest to home is also out "
No mention of slide .
Is this a case where the runner who is out must just disappear .

The runner has a right to make every effort in an attempt to reach the base safely. As long as the "slide" is to the base and, in the umpire's judgment, not an attempt to interfere with the play, it is nothing.
