There should be something where when your character has been wounded. Either by bite, gunshot, or fall and or if he/she is already bleeding; that aborting causes your character to stay in the server for a minute longer then normal. Giving the attacker the chance to kill you, either it be a bandit, zombie, or the floor (hence you bleeding out). I believe that could be implemented because having the minute wait timer even if you are logging off to go to bed you could have the lucky person that walks past you while you are disconnecting and kills and loots you, or just steal whatever is in your backpack.
