Depends if the player agrees that they abandoned the character versus simply bowed out of the game. I think that there should be some level of communication as to whether they are fine with whatever the GM has planned to a certain extent if what is being discussed something that will resonate in the greater "metaverse" of gameplay. If it's smaller troupe play then I don't think it matters much since what happens there may not have any canonical repercussions or continuity errors.
