Removing dead node from a cluster is quite tricky - this will change
in next releases of rabbit.

The easiest method is to bring up an "impostor" node with the same
note name as the dead one, `force_cluster' it with some nodes that are
still in the cluster, and then reseting it. I hope that works for you.
