Vampire fans! Twilight fans! Answer this!?

ok, so im writing something and well one of my characters (who is a vampire) has to die in one part but im not sre how i can kill him off without making it all really dumb and not realistic! like no stakes, crosses, garlic, sunlight, the usual Hollywood way of killing a vampire off. my character (isaiah) doesnt really die but is seen dying in the main girl's vision so if you are vampire fans, dont worry! :) but ten easy points! HELP! :)

you COULD kill him with a stake in the heart and then when he "comes back to life" explain that it was because those things don't really work!

hmm.. maybe another character can "kill" him by shooting him? not with a silver bullet type crap but like shoot him with a regular hand gun by some rival character? or maybe his arch enemy can slit his throat hahahhaa im demented =P
