No, there's limited interaction by means of 'bones' files if you play on the same host.
If you die and certain conditions are met, you'll leave your corpse, all your items, and a ghost for another lucky (or unlucky, given that whatever killed you will still be around) adventurer.
There do exist some multiplayer roguelikes, Mangband
http://www.mangband.org/ is probably one of the most well-known/popular.
