How deniable or survivable for you does the death have to be? For most levels of sane anything that gets you caught or blows the whole ship up is likely out, I suspect!

If your character is good with computers then hack life support to the compartment he's held in. Or to the guards compartment, then go in & job the prisoner. Hack the medicomp - his normal drugs are seamlessly switched to irrecoverable poison. Or physically mess up the delivery method for the drugs - poisoned needle/patch/dispenser etc. They'll maybe check the drugs say "sleep dose" but will they check the syringe isn't smeared inside with poison.

Can you dodge the life support and seal him off, eg an alert happens, they switch each compartment to individual sealed environment, then you open the gas tanks an fill his room with carbon monoxide gas etc.

Basically anything that makes the players or automatics trip into "save him/lock access" mode, but that means they just can't help him when the actual hit happens.

Hack the PA system and play country and western at him until he beats himself to death with a chair leg.

The problem with computers is that if one person can hack them then so can someone else and you could be busted that way. I reckon something simple like a good old fashioned stiletto knife in the ribs-thought I'd better clarify that to avoid any confusion- or maybe a slow acting toxin delivered by a palmed needle or similar.

This.

Switch the drugs to something toxic. When they administer it, he will die instead of being rendered unconscious.  They may think it's an aderse drug reaction.
