Boruch: Rashi says “lefikach neherga”.
The Yalkut Shimoni 1091:2 says Achashverus regretted killing Vashti. If he hadn’t executed her, he could have undone it.
The Medrash in Esther Rabba 4:9 and 4:12 says that Vashi as beheaded and her head was placed on a platter.
גמרא, מגילה יא עמוד ב — בא שטן וריקד ביניהן הורג את ושתי
Vashti married Achasheverus as a child. She must have been pretty young when she was killed. Do we have a timeline of her age? She must have been a teenager.
