Infamous Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro, who was found guilty of kidnapping, torturing, and imprisoning three young women in his home for over a decade, was found dead in his jail cell on Tuesday night. JoEllen Smith, a spokesperson for the facility, confirmed the news, revealing that Castro had hanged himself in his cell.
Castro, who pleaded guilty to 937 counts against him, was held in a cell separate from other inmates for his own protection. He was checked on every 30 minutes, but was not on suicide watch, which would require constant supervision.
