gameObject to play sound on deletion, won't work...

Question

I'm trying to "collect" an object, since I no longer need it in the world I delete it with "Delete(gameObject);" and it works perfect. Now I want to play a sound as well, so I have and it works but once the object is deleted the rest of the collectables can't find the audioSource, even if I attach it to them... I've tried attaching the audio to an inanimate object like a Shovel that's part of the scenery but it wont work. Can someone help me to properly attach audio and link it from another object?

I think my problem is that the script I am using is deleting the gameObject and anything it's linked to/with.

 var PageCount : GUIText;
 var Count : int;
 var Pickup : AudioSource;
 
 function Touched(hit:RaycastHit)
 {
     Destroy(gameObject);
 }
 
 function Update () {
     
 if ( Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
        var hit : RaycastHit;
        var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
        
     if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 0.8))
       {
          hit.transform.SendMessage("Touched", hit, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
          Count ++;
          PageCount.guiText.text = Count.ToString();
          audio.Play();
          audio.loop = false;
       }
    }
     
 }

Change the type of Pickup to AudioClip assign the clip your trying to play in the inspector and use the audio.PlayOneShot().

 var Pickup : AudioClip;
 
 if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 0.8))
       {
         hit.transform.SendMessage("Touched", hit, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
          Count ++;
          PageCount.guiText.text = Count.ToString();
          audio.PlayOneShot(Pickup);
         
       }

You need to make sure the object that is playing the sound also has a AudioSource component attached to it.
