Here's Wikipedia: Effects of Falling into a Black Hole.

This seems to be the relevant bit.

As an infalling object approaches the singularity, tidal forces acting on it approach infinity. All components of the object, including atoms and subatomic particles, are torn away from each other before striking the singularity. At the singularity itself, effects are unknown; it is believed that a theory of quantum gravity is needed to accurately describe events near it.

Sounds like fun.

Is this what happened to agent Spalko in Indy IV?
