Ariel Castro -- convicted earlier this year of kidnapping three woman, holding them in his home for nearly a decade, and repeatedly sexually assaulting them -- committed suicide in his Ohio jail cell Tuesday night, according to an Ohio corrections official. 

A statement from the Ohio Department of Corrections to 19ActionNews.com said Castro, 52, was found hanging  in his cell at the Correctional Reception Center in the town of Orient at 9:20 p.m. local time. After prison medical staff attempted to perform life-saving measures, Castro was transferred to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, where he was pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m.

Might be a good time to charge the other two men who lived there.

Justice served. 

He got off easy. Would have been nice to hear he was gang reaped before he killed himself.

f*ckin coward..   dont get me wrong, glad he's dead, but its too bad he wasnt made to suffer in prison for a long time..   

Herman Cain wrote one word on facebook about this and I concur with the entire sentiment of what he wrote:

 

Closure.

just wish he didnt have a chance to go out on his own terms

I have a slightly different perspective... Hoorah he is gone. Don't care how. Saved the tax payers tons of money. We'd save more if the bleeding hearts used the death penalty even more. Fugg'em!

AWWW,  What a shame..

just wish he didnt have a chance to go out on his own terms

he did not,  he did because he was put there..

Hoorah he is gone. Don't care how. Saved the tax payers tons of money.

my thoughts exactly

Could have saved the taxpayers the expense of the trial if he had done it sooner

Good riddance

I'm just "all broke-up about it"!  Tonight I toast his departure with some 18 yr. old Jameson.  Hope the Coroner does a thorough job and reports severe sphincter damage in his final report!  May he ROT IN HELL!!

Justice has been served, at least he is now gone and not costing the taxpayers.  Hopefully his death helps heal those that he harmed.

Rot in hell!!!

 

Just hope a good corrections officer or two don't lose their job over it.

Guess he didn't want to eat cock meat sandwiches.

Those two were his brothers, and they didn't live there. They occasionally visited, but were strictly limited to where they (and any other "guests") were allowed to go in the house. It was determined, pretty quickly, that they had no involvement or knowledge, of what was happening. The victims themselves said so. This was all on the one guy, who is now dead.

Saw this during the night, rolled over and went back to sleep. He should have been left in general population and let them take care of this a long time ago.
