How can I remove a dead DC without running DCPROMO?

I had a domain controller (DC) die thanks to a bad hard drive. How do I remove it from the Active Directory without running DCPROMO on the dead server?

Just go to the Domain Controllers group within Active Directory User and Computer on another DC and delete the computer member name.
