It's easy:

Define a function like this:

var delay = 2.0; //This implies a delay of 2 seconds.

function WaitAndDestroy(){
   yield WaitForSeconds(delay);
   Destroy (gameObject);
}

Call this function when you want to destroy it.

This.

The Destroy(); method has the functionality you are looking for integrated already. Just use the above overload and you're good to go.

var Seconds = 10;

function Update(){
    Destroy();
}

function Destroy(){
    yield WaitForSeconds(Seconds);
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

Add this to a javascript, set the time in Seconds (Use the var). And the gameobject will be destroyed after in this script 10 seconds
