Carol notes:
Voldemort says in GoF that Quirrell died when he (Voldemort) left
Quirrell's body--much the same fate suffered by the animals Voldy had
previously possessed. Assuming that he's telling the truth, he was
still inside Quirrell's head when Dumbledore came because Quirrell was
still alive and trying to kill Harry at that time. (Why would he still
want the stone if his master had left him, anyway?) In fact,
Dumbledore's presence was probably the reason LV left, escaping but
leaving his servant to die, his life and powers sapped by possession
and maybe by drinking the unicorn blood that, IMO, mad him
incorrigibly evil if he wasn't before. At any rate, Quirrell died
*because* Voldy left, and Dumbledore must have known that he had
resumed his existence at Vapor!mort.
