Personally I don’t think you can. Once some one (in your list) comes online it sends a packet that tells you this person came online.
If he/she goes offline (or invisible) it sends a packet to tell you that this person went offline.

The only way I see, is to analyze the packets send to you when:
A. The person goes offline (for real)
B. When the person changes his or her status to invisible.

If you compare those two (and there is a difference), you should be able to see if your contact went offline or just indivisible.

You can use pretty much every Packet Editor / Viewer, like Windows Packet Viewer, or even WPE.

I suggest using WPE Pro since it is best for starters and easy to use.

And if you want to know why I didn’t do this for you. I don’t think I can in the first place. Since the packets will differ from time to time / person to person.

And remember, if you try this it is still a long shot.

EDIT:

I couldn’t come up with the name this morning, but another good program you could use is ethereal (http://ethereal.com).
