If you type /whois Jane (assuming that it was Jane who just killed
you), it will say:
Jane is logged on to account #9273812 and is currently (in a game,
chat room, etc...)

This person can change their character's name as many times as they
want to, but their account number will stay the same.

hope this helps,
