upstairs taking a bath

Old gangster slang that means the subject was murdered, usually gruesomly; such as if they are laying in a pool of their own blood, being dissolved in acid, were drowned, actually being chopped up in a bathtub, etc.

Notably said by 'Johnny' in "Angels with Filthy Souls", the fake movie that appears in the real, hit movie "Home Alone".
Johnny: Too bad A.C. ain't in charge no more.
Snakes: What do ya mean?
Johnny: He's upstairs taking a bath. He'll call you when he gets out.
