Ariel Castro is a kidnapper and a rapist. He kidnapped Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight and held them more than a decade.
He pleaded guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape. He was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 1,000 years. He took his own life on September 3, 2013 by hanging himself with a bed sheet inside his cell at the State Correctional Reception Center in Orient, Ohio.
Medical staff rushed to his cell and performed CPR in an attempt to revive the man. They rushed him to a local hospital but he was pronounced dead at around 10:52 p.m., according to the reports.
Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections spokeswoman JoEllen Smith identified the two corrections officers who were placed on administrative leave as 26-year-old Caleb Ackley and twenty-seven-year-old Ryan Murphy. They were the guards on duty when the fifty-three-year-old man committed suicide. They were hired in 2007.
Other news media outlet reported that the lawyer of Castro said that his client should have been placed on a suicide watch.
It was also reported that after he was arrested, the officers found a note that was written by Castro admitting to the crime and indicated that he is planning to take his own life.
The Ohio State highway Patrol is investigating the incident and the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections is conducting their own internal administrative investigation.
Records show that the two corrections officers were never disciplined since they were hired.
