Mass Effect 3 default: Is Kirrahe alive or dead?

This one is for all of you who played Mass Effect 3, but without the Mass Effect 2 imported save.

I was wondering about the Kai Leng assassinating the counselor scene.

1. If you played ME2, Thane might come in and stop the assassination (my playthrough).

2. Kirrahe might step in if you saved him in ME1, and Thane died in ME2.

3. If both Kirrahe and Thane are dead, then Kai Leng succeeds in killing the counselor, meaning you are probably getting Kaiden or Ashley killed pretty soon.

So, if you have only played ME3, what was the outcome? Does Kirrahe come in, or does the default have him as dead, and Kai Leng kills the counselor?

Update:

"Guy", I think you are dead wrong. Thane is dead by default if you never played ME2. He and Jack are presumed killed in the suicide mission.

    If you don't import a save from ME2 then the game will assume that Kirrahe and Thane both died and neither of them will be there to step in to save the Salarian Councillor, resulting in Kai Leng succeeding with his assassination attempt. :)

    I played it once without loading it from Mass Effect 1 and 2, and he was dead for me, Thane stepped in by default.
