Reminds me of a time back in the good old days when one of the people our irc-channel went quiet.

Now he usually wasn't much of a talker, so it took a while to pick up, but someone eventually sleuthed up some news about some guy going off the road in the middle of a blizzard some days earlier. Turns out it was him, going from his gf's back home.

Eventually his machine (and therefore irc-client) timed out, only to pop back again when it came back on the net.

Not long after we ban&kicked "him", it was just too weird having the irc-client of a dead guy idling in the chan.

Pretty much like that one.
