When using the delete action what is a good way to retrieve field data?

When using the delete action what is a good way to retrieve (before
the actual delete) field data (from the same table) ?
e.g. how to get $this->request->data fields?
I had thought of using the query method, but this seems like an ugly
solution:
e.g. $qry = $this->Image->query('SELECT user_id FROM images WHERE
id="'.$id.'"'); etc

Thanks,
Daniel
