Way back in high school, we had a massive Mage campaign. Someone brought their asshole boyfriend who was a dick from the beginning by insisting that no, he wouldn’t play a mage. This was World of Darkness and he was going to be a vampire. And he kept being a dick for a few more sessions. Then they broke up, so the DM had his character sucked into an air vent and mushed into a pulp by the razor sharp extraction fans while we were walking down a corridor. And we all moved on like it never happened.
You can still give them a heroic death in the narration
Or an amusing one.

Bonus points if the death could have been easily avoided, had the character been a mage.
