The following should do the trick.  Bind it to a key of your liking.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my/delete-from-point-to-end ()
  (interactive)
  ;; Or kill-region if you want the text in the kill-ring.
  ;; Maybe (1+ (point)) if you don't want the char at point to be removed.
  (delete-region (point) (buffer-end 1)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
