How to kill a thread instantly in C#?

I am using the thread.Abort method to kill the thread, but it not working. Is there any other way of terminating the thread?

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Receiver.IsAlive == true)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Alive");
        Receiver.Abort();
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Dead");
        Receiver.Start();
    }
}

I am using this but every time I get the Alive status, Receiver is my global thread.
