Apparently, Antigone dies the very day that she's walled up in a remote cave. There's no indication in the play that Antigone's death march and subsequent suicide occur other than on the same day as Theban King Creon's meeting with Teiresias the blind prophet and Haemon's suicide. In fact, Teiresias tells Creon that the non burial of Polyneices and the capital punishment of Antigone must be reversed.
Additionally, Antigone's first cousin and fiance, Haemon, goes running off when he learns of the carrying out of her sentence. He gives the impression at the palace meeting with his father and at the tomb meeting with Antigone that he has every hope of finding her alive. The further away from the carrying out of the sentence, the less it's likely to have such high hopes.
