52-year-old convicted kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro was found hanging in
his cell Tuesday.
Castro was being held at the Correction Reception Center in Orient, OH in
Pickaway County.
He was sentenced August 1 to life in prison, plus 1,000 years, for kidnapping
and sexually assaulting Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus while
holding them captive in his Seymour Avenue house for over a decade.
Ohio State Police and the Department of Corrections are investigating the
death.
JoEllen Smith from the Department of Corrections released this statement:
Inmate Ariel Castro was found hanging in his cell this evening at 9:20 pm at
the Correctional Reception Center in Orient. He was housed in protective
custody which means he was in a cell by himself and rounds are required every
30 minutes at staggered intervals. Upon finding inmate Castro, prison medical
staff began performing life saving measures. Shortly after he was transported
to OSUMC where he was pronounced dead at 10:52 pm. A thorough review of this
incident is underway and more information can be provided as it becomes
available pending the status of the investigation.
