DELETE Method Hanging

This isn't so much a question as a note to others who may run into the same issue i had.

When testing the Delete method the process would hang and not give a response, after some digging it turned out to be that the mongoose .remove method was missing an argument. 

router.delete("/:qID/answers/:aID", function(req,res){
    req.answer.remove(function (err){
        req.question.save(function(err,question){
            if(err){
                return next(err);
            }
            res.json(question);
        });
    });
});

line of code needed to become.

router.delete("/:qID/answers/:aID", function(req,res){
    req.answer.remove(req.params.aID,function (err){
        req.question.save(function(err,question){
            if(err){
                return next(err);
            }
            res.json(question);
        });
    });
});

This was my solution, i hope it helps others. But still i wonder if i might have missed something somewhere that made it work without my change.
