An efficient method for Noble Disposal, consuming only one mechanism upon its execution and preparable prior to any noble's arrival, and thus available for immediate execution.
Preparation: Place and link a Lever adjacent to a Support. Build a temporary scaffold (Ramp and Wall adjacent or Stair up/down) to permit constructing a two-piece floor over both. Remove the scaffolding and your 'Suicide Booth' is complete.
Usage: Enter the Workshop (P)rofile for the lever (once already linked to the adjacent support) and assign the noble as the only authorized operator. Set the lever to be pulled, and the work-scoffing schmuck will happily drop the roof on his own head.
Advantages: Automatic deconstruction will cause two of the mechanisms (out of three) to be ejected from the device for re-use, as well as the noble's dumpable corpse to leave their demanded burial site available for temporary appeasement of the next victim.

I used the exact same thing here in Wasprag, one of my previous fortresses.
Be warned, though, that the cave-in will randomly destroy some of the mechanisms (which can be bad if any were Masterwork) and building materials.
