The following passage is talking about Lucifer (Satan).
Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was in thee; in the day that thou wast created they were prepared. Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee. By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being. (Ezekiel 28.11—19)
When, since Genesis 1:2 was it true that he was in a state like what I have bolded above?

How much time passed between the last day of Creation and the fall of Adam and Eve?
Neither of us was there, and the account doesn’t say.
I’ts my belief that that Satan was jealous of Adam and Eve. It offended his pride that God had for them a very special place in Creation.
By my reckoning, Satan’s rebellion took place AFTER the creation of Adam and Eve. How long after? Don’t know. The Scriptures don’t say.
They also don’t say what I’m saying above, but at least I’m honest enough to say that it is my belief, and that I don’t care whether you believe it or not. I do not feel compelled to convince you.
If you want to believe that Death came before Adam sinned, have at it.
I know that I’m not going to convince you, and I can tell you right now that you are not going to convince me.
