The "This page doesn't exist" message often appears on LinkedIn due to changes made by the LinkedIn user or by LinkedIn itself.
Likely Reasons for a LinkedIn URL No Longer Existing

The user updated their profile URL, possibly following a name change (e.g., marriage or adding qualifications).
Custom URL Creation
The user changed their LinkedIn public profile URL from the default generic one to a custom one.
Account Deactivation
The user discontinued their LinkedIn account.
Account Merging
LinkedIn identified the account as a duplicate and merged it with another.
Bot Account Pruning
LinkedIn mistakenly identified the account as being created by a bot and removed it.
Unverified Account Removal
LinkedIn pruned the account because it remained unverified.
