Death of Button Mash: How would you do it?

I already have the plans of how Button Mash fakes his death and how everything happens afterwards, but I'm curious my readers, what would you do? If you were going to write how Button fakes his death (and what happens afterwords) how or what would you do? Don't worry, I'm not asking to steal your ideas, I'm just curious.

Cover his propeller hat with ketchup mixed with red food dye to darken the color, and leave it in his room with that same exact ketchup spread across the floor.

What's the most convicing way with the least amount of hastle? Ketchup. Just have him "fall" from a high enough height and make it look like he didn't survive. Then use ketchup to show the blood. Maybe even get a fake medical report to fool anyone who might have doubts.

actually... i've no idea how i'd do that. i mean, i kinda wrote a death scene reel for my second to latest fic, but it was something that wasn't actually going to happen in the fic itself storywise.

honestly, i don't think i'll ever write a fic where a character dies... wait. i already did that in Wings a horn and hooves. how did i not see that?

You can never go wrong with a Rube Goldberg machine.
Plus, and I may be wrong on this, it seems more his style.

(Whether or not it was actually practical)

Frame Harry the bear.

I've talked to you about this before (I think?), so I'll come up with one on the spot!

1) He runs out of quarters for the arcade
2) Wants more money
3) Figures out there is something where if you die, you get money (life insurance)
4) Fakes his death, but obviously doesn't get money
5) Continues to fake it until he gets money

I would have button mash fake his death by blackmailing a bunch of random ponies to "murder" him by throwing him into the railroad, where he is cought by said blackmailed ponies on a train to canterlot, which is where he then resides until blackmailed ponies confess tell what had really happen. :p

Bribe Fluttershy's bear with a fish so he can put himself in his mouth and pretend that he mauled him.

[Queen Cookie]

I would make Button fake his death, but then feel really guilty about making his mom sad, and come back.

[ButtonMash]

Maybe they shoot a gun to the side of him, and lather him with ketchup. Hilarious!

[Scyphi]

Gee, I dunno, I hadn't thought about it. You were already doing it, so I figured that freed me of any obligations of having to come up with it myself.

You don't have to answer its just a question for fun

Hence why I answered for fun.
Seriously though, you've done such a good job with the fanfic thus far, I'm at a loss at how I could come up with something better. I'd probably get entirely too technical about it.

1.) He goes to Zecora's and asks for/steals a strong sleeping potion. (If it's the former, he says its for an insomniac friend/relative.)
2.) When nopony is looking, he ingests the whole thing, thus "poisoning" himself.
3.) Everypony mourns him as his mother arrives and everything seems to go according to plan...
4.) ...until Love Tap starts applauding the scene, remembering that the kids were supposedly playing Romeo and Juliet when she was checking in back at the beginning of Chapter 2. Everypony else begins to applaud, too.
5.) The sleeping potion wears off and Button Mash springs up and cries out in absolute disbelief and casts Sweetie Belle a glare for even bringing up Romeo and Juliet to his mother.

If it wasn't for the fact I already have something planned, I would think that as a possible route.
