Disintegration is a folly. You can't destroy him, the best you could do is convert his molecules to energy. He can always be reassembled. And, depending on how they want to play "souls", personally, I'd go with a core electromagnetic signature inherent to a each person's atoms. If the soul is tied to the form, it can be restored.

If someone doesn't move on, it's not selfish either.

There's always a way. Unless the series doesn't get renewed. Then HE DEAD. It's been stated in "Denial" and "Misplaced" that the way that they're playing with souls is that souls of the dead usually go into the afterlife. Wally is most likely with Kent and Inza right now. As for his molecules, you can't convert matter into energy. You can only change it from one form of matter to another. And even if science can reassemble his molecules, it would take too long to reassemble them correctly without some supernatural help.
