From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  link-dead adj. [MUD] The state a player is in when they kill their
     connection to a {MUD} without leaving it properly. The player is then
     commonly left as a statue in the game, and is only removed after a
     certain period of time (an hour on most MUDs). Used on {IRC} as well,
     although it is inappropriate in that context. Compare {netdead}.
