Deleting an object in C++

Here is a sample code that I have:

void test()
{
   Object1 *obj = new Object1();
   .
   .
   .
   delete obj;
}

I run it in Visual Studio, and it crashes at the line with 'delete obj;'. Isn't this the normal way to free the memory associated with an object? I realized that it automatically invokes the destructor... is this normal?

Here is a code snippet:

if(node->isleaf())
    {
        vector<string> vec = node->L;
        vec.push_back(node->code);
        sort(vec.begin(), vec.end());

        Mesh* msh = loadLeaves(vec, node->code);

        Simplification smp(msh);

        smp.simplifyErrorBased(errorThreshold);

        int meshFaceCount = msh->faces.size();

        saveLeaves(vec, msh);

        delete msh;
    }

loadleaves() is a function that reads a mesh from disk and creates a Mesh object and returns it.(think of vec and node->code are just information about the file to be opened)

Should I remove the delete msh; line?
