took care of
Saw to it
Took care of is the past tense of take care of, meaning handled, managed, or dealt with something.
I took care of the paperwork yesterday.
It can mean provided for someone's needs: She took care of her aging mother for years.
In darker contexts, it's a euphemism for killed or eliminated: The mob took care of him.
