Yanking a dead node

This was discussed a long time ago, but I need to know what's the state 
of the art answer to that:
assume one of my few nodes is very dead. I have no resources or time to 
fix it. Data is replicated
so the data is still available in the cluster. How do I completely 
remove the dead node without having
to rebuild it, repair, drain and decommission?

TIA
Maxim

Thanks! Looks pretty obvious in retrospect...

Just remove its token from the ring using

nodetool removetoken <token>
