I don't think Hollow Ichigo is dead, I think he's now a full part of Ichigo's power, we haven't seen him go into his inner world since the Aizen battle. Hollow Ichigo did say that if Ichigo wanted to control his power then he shouldn't die before he showed up again. We saw this happening when Ichigo performed Jinzen when Tenza Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo fused and fought Ichigo before giving him the secret to performing the Final Getsuga Tenshou. We also heard a reference to Ichigo's hollow powers in the Fullbring arc when Kugo was fighting Ichigo in their final battle.
