Confirmed; see bottom section, below.
However, please refer to Provide a way to retrieve questions and answers that have been deleted -- which is "status-planned".
This is a feature, not a bug. And this kind of feature has been requested many times. So, shush please, don't ruin it for us. ;)

"c#",
"quartz-scheduler"
],
"owner": { "display_name": "Kumar" },
"question_id": 37987057,
"title": "Need a api or widget like Outlook calendar to create Appoitments"
...

- [10K+ users can [still] search any user's deleted content][4]
This behavior should not be allowed as the API doesn't know that I'm 10K (I'm not authenticated), and I certainly don't own the question.
Also, as a 10K user, I see:
Note: only content you own is returned when searching for deleted content
When using normal site search for deleted content.
