> If it didnt come up with that then he wouldn't have died cause the gods would have protected him. ie all the means is that he wasn't completely link dead but he got so badly lagged due to his connection (line etc)
Which means that the person who killed him might not have had any idea that he was fighting someone linkdead. If he was trying to keep his opponent lagged (bash-o-rama technique), a link-dead person might look much like a non-link-dead person who got bashed consistently. (i.e., stand around, do nothing, absorb a beating.)
Link death happens. It isn't the fault of you, the guy who bashed you, your ISP, Scarabaeus, or improperly punched chads. Suck it up, curse quietly, grab some new gear, move on. By definition, if you were link dead, you don't know whather or not your attacker could have figured out that you were link dead.
> that he lagged off.
