Ariel Castro, Cleveland kidnapper, found hanged in prison cell.

Rapist/kidnapper Ariel Castro -- who had been
sentenced to life in prison for the abduction, rape, and
torture of 3 Cleveland women he held captive for years
-- has been found dead in his Ohio prison cell after
apparently committing suicide.States corrections
officials said 53-year-old Castro was found hanging in
his cell by prison staff while they were doing rounds at
the facility.Castro -- a former school bus driver -- had
been under protective custody in isolation from other
inmates. Ironic ... considering Castro struck a plea deal
that got him life in prison (plus a thousand years) in
order to avoid the death penalty. All told he pled guilty
to 937 criminal counts, including kidnapping and
murder (after forcibly causing one of his victim's to
abort a fetus).
