[Sir Leonard III]

A dwarf, who is a skilled swordsman, had his hand cut off in battle. He also had several other wounds, but they have been fixed up. Right now he's going between a smaller stockpile and a bucket, trying to pick items up. He only lost his right hand, so I decided he is too dumb to let live. I am going to execute him somehow. The problem is he only goes on the surface and in the main stockpile, so I can't channel him into a hole.
Any ideas?

Forgot to mention he keeps spamming up my announcements with Urist McDumbass cancels pickup equipment: Too injured.

... You're asking questions as to how to kill your dwarf on purpose?

Hi there, you must be very, very new.

While none of our esteemed overseers would ever conceive of such a travesty as to purposefully murder the good and loyal dwarves under our care, it has been the most tragic case that "Unfortunate Accidents" have struck those that are most deleterious to the continued stability of the fortress's functioning, as if Armok himself were smiting those who upset the status quo. 

[Tharwen]

Just put down a burrow where you want him to go.

Oooh! I have an idea! Make a little 1x1 hole, put him at the bottom of it, build a wall over the top, and then drop the wall on him No-one will ever know he's in there...

[Koji]

My favorite is to catch a bunch of wild animals and cage them in a room. Link the cages to a lever, then lock the dwarf in the room and pull it. If he survives, he earned his keep.

[Cthulhu]

Station him somewhere (Can you still station dorfs?  No idea how the new military works), dig channels around him so he's trapped, then build a little 7 shaped set of blocks, with the end of the top bar hanging over him.  Deconstruct the block next to it so the end block falls on him.

Goodbye dorf.

no one has mentioned magma yet? for shame, for shame.

[Sir Leonard III]

I would station him, but he keeps trying to pick up his items with his lost hand. I fixed the problem by simply getting rid of him from my military, but the problem of a useless dwarf remains.
But if all useless dorfs had an unfortunate accident then I would have no babies.

Remove shield or weapon from his equipment list, I think that hepls

It's so obvious, so even shouldn't be mentioned. It's like auto-posting 'Apply magma' to each question thread.

I like long retracting bridge over pit with control lever at outer side. Dwarf pulls the lever and then proceeds to his usual tasks moving back over the bridge he just ordered to retract. If he's lucky, he'll survive.

Nice method of approving mandates, by the way. Before mandate is put into order list, noble should prove his right of mandating by passing 'God's bless test'

Except people totally actually do that shit.

Here's what I did just recently with a "too injured" dwarf:
I made him militia captain in his own squad.  I set him to a "uniform" with no items.  He then kept spamming me about how he was "too injured" to do anything major like picking up equipment, and I realized I forgot the supplies menu.  As soon as I set him not to carry any food or drink, he was fine.  I stationed him under the atomsmasher and he finally made it there, and then pulled the lever.

Result:  Injured McSpammer has been crushed under a drawbridge.

[Aravin]

Tis true, this ain't no bug - you just assigned some item to his lost hand, that's why he keeps spamming with messages.
IMO one hand dwarf still can kick asses if he has really high stats. Just give him a big steel masterwork shield alone and he will bash all goblins' brains out.
PS I wish Toady would give some kind of a simple AI for those dwarves. Like "Dwarven common sense v 1.2"

[Oliolli]

Station him in a hole you dug in the wall, then wall him in and "forget" he's in there.

[kulik]

Can't you just sign him off all duties including hauling and let him throw parties all the time?

[Mister Always]

Can't you just sign him off all duties including hauling and let him throw parties all the time?

What, and let him drink booze and eats biscuits without returning anything to the community?

CAPEETALEEST PEEG!

[metime00]

Give him a squad all his own without uniform and send him as the first wave against the next goblin siege or megabeast attack. Or just give him a shield, and full candy armor before training him to be a legendary wrestler and using him as your sole defense against the next goblin siege or megabeast attack. Either way, there will be death.
