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.

Is this what happened to agent Spalko in Indy IV?

I think what happened to agent Spalko in Indy 4 is referred to, colloquially, as a "Lucas". That is to say, tragically killing off something that had potential for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Also see Boba Fett.

And the Star Wars and Indy franchises.
