So did somebody do him in? They don't like rapists in prison, especially in OH. I guess he was by himself so probably suicide.

The article says he hung himself.

Oh wow.

Good. I hope his victims are relieved too.

The article says he hung himself.

It's amazing how often that happens, even on "suicide watch".

:moo:

i just noticed this on twitter and came to see if the word had spread. The only thing i can hope is that he didn't take any secrets to his grave : i.e. other victims.

I just read this and came rushing to WS to see what everyone else here had to say. I hate that he took the easy way out but I am glad he is gone from this earth. I hope it brings some peace to the girls to know that he is gone an they don't have to read or hear about him trying to get an appeal or giving an interview or trying to sue for right to see the daughter he had with one of the girls.

I would have liked him to suffer forever in prison, hated and isolated. But for the sake of the young daughter, i am glad he is dead. Now her mom can truthfully tell her that Ariel is dead (if she chooses to, if the little girl asks about her dad).

I'm sure hell already had reservations for this demon and I hope he spends an eternity in the fiery inferno of hell. As I have said before "Stop, drop and roll doesn't work in Hell.

May he be cremated and thrown in a landfill.

I'm sorry for his family members that are good people and hope this doesn't somehow upset the victims worse than going to trial.

 

[Confusion]

I can't say it surprises me.

 

[margarita25]

Not one bit surprised. JMO.

 

[margarita25]

Sending love out to his victims and their families.

May he rot!

From the above link:

"Inmate Ariel Castro was found hanging in his cell this evening at 9:20 pm at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient. 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. Upon finding inmate Castro, prison medical staff began performing life saving measures. Shortly after he was transported to OSUMC where he was pronounced dead at 10:52 pm. A thorough review of this incident is underway and more information can be provided as it becomes available pending the status of the investigation. "

I am totally not surprised. He held those girls for 10 and more
years and he can't do isolation himself? (He was in isolation
for his own safety, of course). He was/is a total coward.
He was so brutal in his free life and when he gets such
a short time being confined so far, he decides to off himself?
^i^

I can't say it surprises me.
