Submit DataTables Selected Value to PHP Deletion function in Laravel via a Post Request

I have a table, using the DataTables API, that is populated with a list of entries from a database. I would like my user to select a entry from the table, click a delete button, and the selected entry will be deleted from the database. I'm using Laravel. So, my initial instinct is to send the selected entry in a post request where I will process the selected entry via a Controller.

1) How can I forward my selected entry (var rowData) to my Laravel Controller via a post request once the user clicks the delete button?

2) Is there a better solution?

[HTML]

<div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-bordered" width="100%" id="someTable"></table>
</div>

<form action="/somePage/deleteObject" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" value="delete">
    <button id="delBtn" type="submit" class="btn" >
        Delete
    </button>
</form>

[Javascript] - Populates table and provides events for when an entry is selected.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){ 
        var table = $('#someTable').DataTable( {
            select: {
                style: 'single'
            },
            "scrollX": true,
            "scrollY": '70vh',
            "scrollCollapse": true,
            "paging": false,
            dom: 'ft',
            "aoColumns": [
                { "sTitle": "Name",  "mData": "name" },
                { "sTitle": "Email", "mData": "email" },
                { "sTitle": "Group", "mData": "group" },
                { "sTitle": "Access Level", "mData": "level" }
            ],
            "aaData": {!! collect($users)->toJson() !!}
        } );

        // Event handling: Pulled directly from DataTables example
        table
            .on( 'select', function ( e, dt, type, indexes ) {
            document.getElementById("delBtn").disabled = false;
            var rowData = table.rows( indexes ).data().toArray();
        } )
            .on( 'deselect', function ( e, dt, type, indexes ) {
            document.getElementById("delBtn").disabled = true;
            var rowData = null;
        } );
    } );
</script>

[Laravel Route]

Route::post('/somePage/deleteObject', 'Controller_Page@deleteObject');

[Laravel Controller]

public function deleteObject(){
    $value =  Request::get('rowData');
    dd("Reached Delete", $value);
}
