CLEVELAND kidnapper Ariel Castro has been found hanging dead in his state prison cell.

Ohio Rehabilitation and Correction officials said convicted kidnapper Castro was found in his prison cell at the Correctional Reception Centre in Orient, Ohio at about 9:20pm local time.

Prison medical staff performed CPR, and Castro was transported to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centre. He was pronounced dead at 10:52pm.

Castro was sentenced to life in prison for holding three women - Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight - in Cleveland for more than a decade and repeatedly raping them.

Disappointing for some but not for others, I suppose.

Obviously, I cant speak for the girls, but my feeling is that, even though he was never convicted or sentenced for the things he did to them, the ordeal is over, he will never hurt anyone again. A waste of oxygen is dead.

he cheated them of a decade of their lives and now he has cheated them of any satisfaction him having to know what its like to spend years as a prisoner might have bought them.

Castro was sentenced on August 1 to life in prison plus 1000 years on his guilty plea to 937 counts including kidnapping and rape.

Personally, I think that ilfe is precious and suicide or execution makes me sad, regardless of the crime.

"even though he was never convicted or sentenced for the things he did to them, the ordeal is over, he will never hurt anyone again. A waste of oxygen is dead."

I agree with most of this post, but he was convicted and sentenced. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison + 1000 years on 1/8/1.

He was a waste of space and oxygen, the suffering those women went through is beyond evil.

OK, so I missed all that, I thought he was pleading not guilty and insisting on a trial. But I stand by the rest of my post. Its my opinion only of course.
