Well, Taniguchi wanted everyone to believe that she's dead. I'm sure she'll appear in the last episodes and everyone would be just like "OMG NO WAY SHE SURVIVED!!!1".
She can't be dead just because there are pretty much secrets around her - I remember Taniguchi saying this clearly. And hey, her eyes are still shut. I'm sure that she'll open her eyes at the end of the show.
I personally think that Emperor's needing her for some reasons involving geass - and he could transport her in a second to every place he wants, like V.V. did it once.
