The same way you kill the T1000, full body immersion in molten metal until his brain cooks in his adamantium skull.
How Would You Kill Wolverine?

Since the 'fire him into the sun/black hole' idea is already gone, I'll go with .22 Vibranium bullets. Why a .22? The bullet wouldn't leave his head, just ricochet around inside, but never leaving, so when he regenerates the bullet would be blocking major parts of his brain just by their presence alone. Oh, he'd be alive, but severely brain-damaged to the point where he's no longer a threat. Of course I'd never trust just a single bullet to do the trick, so just to be sure, I'd double/triple/quadruple/quintuple/sextuple... -tap just so you know that his brain would never function again properly. Wolverine wouldn't be a threat if he was a vegetable lying on a bed after I empty three full magazines of .22's into his head.
Or you could shoot him with a bullet loaded with the Life Eater Virus from Warhammer 40k just to see what would win: Wolverine's regeneration or the virus specifically designed to turn organic matter into flammable/explosive goo & gas.

I'm going to show how nerdy I am.
Wolverine has been killed and resurrected by Gorgon, and Gorgon just beat him the old fashioned way. To death. Gorgon was beyond normal superhuman, though. According to Sabretooth (who has similar healing), drowning would kill them. Any sort of suffocation should work. Also, when surgery needs to be done on him, they can insert an extremely high radiation capsule to use up his body's healing. Thus, if that was inserted, then he could be killed much easier. Of course, how well he can heal is different in every story line, I'm just talking normal. Xavier could probably kill him instantly; I don't know if Wolverine can heal from mental blocks. Rogues power could kill him; utilize her. There was a girl that had a healing power similar to Wolverine's, and Sabretooth just killed her the normal way. I think that in one show, Magneto's daughter was able to nullify mutant powers. Hurling him into a volcano might work, but he'd have to either be unconscious or pass out from the heat, otherwise there's a chance he could crawl out. And it'd have to be an active volcano.
Of course, there's ways to straight out cheat, like time traveling to when he was a child before his powers were active. I don't know if "Death" exists in the Marvel universe. Temperatures high enough to melt adamantium should work. Cold temperatures might...but there's know way to know if the healing factor would keep him alive after he was defrosted (as we don't fully understand the nature of his power.
A couple of points: To the person who claims it takes a long time for their brains to recover: sometimes this is true, especially in older comics, but in MOST newer comics, the regeneration is much faster, unless something special is done to the brain. Maybe it's possible to hit the part that is responsible for healing?
Someone said that adamantium can pierce adamantium. This might be true, but it's hard enough that you'd probably need super strength to do it. So..I wouldn't try to physically stab him using his own claws yourself. Also, when he has an adamantium skeleton, he has minor super strength, so normal humans cannot overpower him (unless it's convenient for the plot).

Angry Flashlight, that's a good idea, but if you turned him into a vegetable like that, you better have some awesome security. Because if his friends ever find him (using methods like teleportation and telepathic searches encompassing the entire world), they can easily get those bullets out. Also, if you fail to destroy either his ability to do basic reasoning or his ability to stay conscious (or his motor functions), he can take the bullets out himself. Also, how sure are we that his body doesn't automatically remove objects? That is, he's immune to poison and disease, so it's not like his power is just putting itself back together. He can't even get drunk as his body cleanses and disperses the liquid to quickly. We don't know the extents to his healing factor...
The flammable goo thing sounds interesting to me in ways that I should probably see my therapist about.

I'm going to go with the fire him into a large mass of antimatter. Now where you would get or keep the antimatter I don't know but it should annihilate every atom present, admantium or not. While his healing factor may be powerful I doubt it can recover from not even an atom. It is the most final way of getting rid of him that I can think of beyond using something like the infinity gauntlet. There is also the fact that the resulting explosion would be far more dangerous than wolverine himself. The only possible problem I can see is if he isn't thrown in fast enough than the explosion from say the bottom half of his body might throw the top half of his body away and allow it to regenerate, but more research into antimatter annihilation would need to be done. It would also be far easier to put him on a rocket or something that was aimed away from the earth, if he gets to far into deep space it would be awfully hard to come back, at least in this universe.
I'm not super familiar with the story of Wolverine, but what I DO know is that his super power is primarily super healing. The metal skeleton thing was a military experiment to weaponize him thanks to his healing ability.
Now, I heard this from someone that IS a fan of the comics; wasn't he reduced to pulp (literally) or a single cell or some such and was able to regenerate? I thought I also remember hearing that Magneto tore his metal skeleton out of his body at one point. He even ages slower. Isn't he something like Prof X's age in the normal series, and barely an old man in flashes of the future? Assuming these are all true, especially the first one about pulp- then how CAN he die? It would have to be something super-SUPER. Like one of those galaxy killing characters or something.

Magneto actually does that in the Ultimatum storyline and obliterates his entire body so he cant regrow. But bear in mind that it's also said that he can regrow his entire body from one cell, so thats not a sure way of killing him for good
