According to Arkatoir (and I read the scene to verify), Abyss I.R. did apparently "die the other day" when Kyle arrived. We're not sure how to take this though as the timelines and novel are also explicit about Elluka vacating her body and leaving when Abyss took it.

The only inconsistency is that Abyss took the body in 502. The only ones with an event in 503 (according to the fanbook) are Lily and the Resistance. We'll have to update that.

It's possible Irina just kept the body (hence why Prim actually believes Abyss died) and only used Elluka's body to be able to "infiltrate" the Freesis mansion and get the upper hand (and turn the ziz tiama into a kraken that would attack Kyle's ship).
