Ariel Castro, the man who last month, was sentenced a lifetime in prison for sexually assaulting and kidnapping three young women in his Cleveland home, was found dead yesterday. Castro, 53, committed suicide by hanging himself in his prison cell at the Correction Reception Center in Orient, Ohio. Once the prison medical staff noticed the body, they immediately attempted lifesaving procedures on Castro, before transporting his body to a medical center. The attempts to try to save his life came to soon though and he was later pronounced dead at 10:52 P.M. ET. Castro had not been on suicide watch, but was supposedly being watched by prison guards every 30 minutes. The former Cleveland neighborhood bus driver, was sentenced to prison the rest of his life for kidnapping Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus, and Michelle Knight in a time span which lasted over ten years, in which they were chained up and assaulted in his home. Castro will be remembered by the media, public, his family, and especially the victims, for the infamous crime he prolonged over all these years.
