    {
        $cadmodel->load('comments')->delete();
        $request->session()->flash('message.level', 'success');
        $request->session()->flash('message.content', 'File Deleted Successfully!');
        return redirect()->route('dashboard');

    }

You can use Eloquent. Check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14174070/automatically-deleting-related-rows-in-laravel-eloquent-orm — kawadhiya21, Oct 01 '17 at 11:34

In your migration, set your related comments to be deleted if the model is deleted with onDelete('cascade').

Example:

/**
    * Run the migrations.
    *
    * @return void
    */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('comments_model', function(Blueprint $table)
        {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->integer('comment_id')->unsigned();
            $table->integer('model_id')->unsigned();

            $table->foreign('comment_id')->references('id')->on('comments')->onDelete('cascade');
            $table->foreign('model_id')->references('id')->on('models')->onDelete('cascade');
        });
    }
