If you want to be super sure, drop them from maybe like 20z up onto a lead floor. Everything will come off.
Sadly, you're wrong, as per the OP. I dropped the bugger from 25 levels onto a lead floor, and nothing came off.

Wow, that usually works. Something must have changed? Or maybe it doesn't work with undead.

The splatter principle is sound, it's just that it need a lot of impact to splatter reliably. I remember trying to off my first vampire by building a high tower on top of a cliff. I made a fairly large number of attempts and finally managed to kill it by dropping it onto a menacing spike trap (that was blown apart) from a height of probably around 35. I don't think the vampire was blown apart, though I don't remember for certain.

There was a thread once where it was done with reliability at right around 20z. I think it was 21z. It was in a much older version, though.

In 40:24 25 z levels into a platinum floor wasn't anywhere near enough.
