Like Lebell, we had one that was found suffocating in a powerful snap rat trap. Didn't feel sorry for it, as it was a large and aggressive rat who had escaped quite a few times before. Trap was closed right down over its neck - don't know how it was surviving. Only way I could think to finish it off was drowning in a bucket. Didn't really struggle, so I suppose it was weak enough to die pretty quickly once it was underwater.

It's great that there's no cuteness factor for rats (aside from when they're pets) - just their long ropey tails, greasy fur, black eyes and yellow teeth.
