Depends on how fast they heal or on their condition. But if a life support system fails, then it might display a huge risk on the person's life. If a patient is critically ill and needs life support just to try and fight for their life, they can die immediately if the system fails

If a person is on life support and they are taken off of it the plug is pulled how long can they live without it?

This depends on what the patient's pathology is, and how dependent on the life support equipment they are for sustaining life. There have been rare cases where, once removed from the life support equipment, the patient started breathing and eventually recovered to a point where they didn't need the life support equipment to survive. More often, mortality occurs minutes, hours or days after disconnect. Again, it depends on the patient.
