Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro found hanged in cell
Ariel Castro, who kept women captive at his home in Cleveland, Ohio, has died after being found hanging in his cell.
Prison officials said he died in hospital late on Tuesday, after prison medical staff failed to revive him.
Castro, 53, held three women against their will for about a decade until May this year. He kept his victims chained up and raped them.
He was sentenced on 1 August to life imprisonment without parole plus 1,000 years. The house was demolished.
The former school bus driver abducted Michelle Knight, 32, Amanda Berry, 27, and Gina DeJesus, 23, from the Cleveland streets between 2002-04.
A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, JoEllen Smith, said: "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.
