Someone else can re-word this, but a easy-to-find paragraph on deleteing Eloquent models seemed missing.

## Deleting Models
Because Eloquent inherits all the features and methods of Fluent queries, deleting models is a snap:
$author->delete();
Note, however, than this won't delete any related models (e.g. all the author's Book models will still exist), unless you have set up [foreign keys](/docs/database/schema#foreign-keys) and cascading deletes.
