If the idea is to be rid of the person completely, we don't need to fire them into the sun. Or launch them out of the solar system. They don't even need to reach earth escape velocity.

Just launch them at the sun. Use whatever method you like. Just get them high enough that after gravity starts to overpower acceleration, there is no chance for survival. Boom! No more person. For the most part.

You'd still be moving some 30km/s around the sun, and need to decelerate from that speed.

A bit of a woosh. He's saying you only need to throw someone off a building or out of a plane and they'll die falling to the ground. No need to leave Earth.
