If we consult the existing literature...

    bullet to the head
    fire
    electrocution ("Day of the Dead")

Going to the foreign journals:

    lawn mower ("Braindead" aka "Dead Alive")
    blender    ("Braindead" again)
    sharpened shovel to the head ("Dellamorte Dellamore" aka "Cemetary Man")
