I've let Arvel the Swift ran away after freeing him.

I didn't know he had the golden claw in his possesion.

So, now I can't complete that quest anymore... Where can I find him?

After not finding Arvel after he ran away, but arriving at the puzzle door that requires the golden claw, I had to backtrack to the first room with Draugr. While in that room Arvel ran up to me and attacked. I killed him and got the claw... but still wonder where he'd been hiding! – user18022 Jan 9 '12 at 10:07

Keep moving along the path. You'll find he's met an unexpected fate at the hands of the denizens deeper within the barrow, allowing you to retrieve the claw again.

Looks like they've hid him in a corner where I wouldn't look immediately, finally found him. – Tom Wijsman Nov 13 '11 at 0:07
Help, I still can't find him! What room is he in, please? – user14300 Nov 14 '11 at 16:49
@Hellp: You are going to have to check all bodies on the entire floor of the dungeon, it took me some time to notice that he got killed in a corner. He doesn't die on the same place, by the way... – Tom Wijsman Nov 14 '11 at 16:53

@hellp He seems to always die in the next room, either to a Draegr, to the door trap, or somehow in the corner on the left-hand side as you enter the room – David Fullerton♦ Nov 14 '11 at 16:53
Getting piled into the corner appears to be the result of getting caught by the edge of the trap. It can impart quite a lot of force! – Ben Blank Nov 14 '11 at 17:05

For me, the game glitched.

I chased Arvel, followed him into the room with the draugr, watched him die, killed off the draugr, and his body was missing. I checked all around, only to find his body back in the spider web I cut him down from.
