No, the creature did not die from the infection.

My reasoning to this is that it looks something of very old age, something that's been there for ages. I believe that whatever this creature is, it arrived awhile before the Precursors, who made the infection on the Sea Dragon.

I also want to ask, why do you think it died to the infection? There is not too much evidence pointing to it dying from the infection, but there is also no evidence pointing to it dying to maybe natural causes or another creature.
