Everyone knows: he was captured. But I think CNN put it best:
About 600 soldiers of the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, and special operations forces of Task Force 121 conducted the raid in Ad Dawr, near a compound of ramshackle buildings, about nine miles outside Tikrit.
U.S. soldiers found Saddam hiding in a 6-to-8 feet deep, equipped with a basic ventilation system and covered with bricks and dirt.
…
U.S. forces found weapons and about $750,000 in U.S. $100 bills with the former dictator, Sanchez said, along with two AK-47s, a pistol and a white and orange taxi.
How could he ever hope to escape in a taxi tiny enough to fit in a 6-foot deep hole? Come now, that’s just silly.
