Shinnok's body may have been taken into "custody" by Raiden to prevent him re-awakening from his damaged state.

Returning to my point though, why is Raiden not immortal? What makes Shinnok more immortal than Raiden? Shinnok IS immortal. Bo Rai' Cho states that he could not be killed in the last war because he was immortal. But why can Raiden die? Shinnok is a FALLEN Elder God, so his status as an elder god doesn't apply anymore.
