As opposed to what - tearing the "whole house" apart to remove a dead
sqirrel?

And it's not even that.

If a live squirrel found his way into a wall cavity, he can damn sure
find his way out - unless the home-owners go all ape-**** and terrorize
him and preventing him from doing that.

If they were smart enough to find their way back out, they would after a couple of hours when they got hungry and couldn't find food. The homeowners can't go ape-**** 24/7. Hungry squirrel with any sense at all should make a break for it as soon as things quiet down.

They don't. They wander around randomly until they are too hungry and weak to move, then they fall down in a wall cavity and die.

there is no way to actively catch him.

You don't want to catch him.

You want him to leave - preferrably the same way he got in.

You also want to keep more squirrels from finding the hole and getting in.
