Comment:

 An attachment can be used in other posts, without being directly attached
 to them.

 Here's some code I use that does what you want:

 {{{
 function delete_post_children($post_id) {
         global $wpdb;

         $ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE
 post_parent = $post_id AND post_type = 'attachment'");

         foreach ( $ids as $id )
                 wp_delete_attachment($id);
 }
 add_action('delete_post', 'delete_post_children');
 }}}
