LinkedIn has no policy in place to delete inactive accounts, so your account may stay active long after you’ve died, which may be distressing to your connections who view your profile.

We delete inactive accounts and de-identify logs or other backup information within 30 days of account closure, as stated in our Privacy Policy, with the exception of any logs or other backup information that may have been retained.

You may reactivate your account by entering your login credentials on LinkedIn or using the link provided in the original account closure email from a desktop or mobile device. If the link doesn’t work, you’ll be sent to a login screen instead. To begin, select Reactivate.

Because of Something You Did, Your LinkedIn Profile Is Missing. “LinkedIn has the power to limit your use of the Services, such as the number of your connections and ability to contact other Members.

In the end, I’m confident in writing that LinkedIn is not dead. It’s simply no longer a social network because of its size. And, yes, you may still connect with individuals, but don’t expect everyone to reply. Don’t expect everyone to read your message.
