I don't know how elegant this is but if worst comes to worst you can get
a ps listing and then kill the associated ssh process.

  $ ps -efH | less
  /emacs
  ...look for ssh process associated with that emacs...
  $ kill 123

For example:

  $ ps -efH | less
  rwp      24638     1  0 Oct23 ?        00:03:31   /usr/bin/emacs
  rwp       5215 24638  0 13:55 pts/62   00:00:00     ssh -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPath=tramp.%C -o ControlPersist=no -e none despair
  $ kill 5215
