Ohio ACLU wants full investigation into Ariel Castro's suicide

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is calling for state officials to conduct a full investigation into Ariel Castro's suicide.

Castro on Tuesday was found hanged in his cell at the Corrections Reception Center just outside Columbus, marking the second time in nearly a month that an Ohio inmate ended his own life.

In August, condemned Cleveland killer Billy Slagle was found hanged in his Chillicothe Correctional Institution cell.

"The death of any individual while in state custody must be taken very seriously and fully investigated," ACLU of Ohio Executive Director Christine Link said in a statement. "As horrifying as Mr. Castro's crimes may be, the state has a responsibility to ensure his safety from himself and others."

Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 for abducting and raping Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry.

The women suffered nearly a decade of torture at Castro's Seymour Avenue home, which has since been reduced to rubble.

Castro's suicide is the seventh committed this year by an Ohio inmate, according to the ACLU of Ohio.

1. Waste of time and money.

Guys, put your energy somewhere else.

2. I'm guessing he just decided to take the easy way out.

3. Doesn't just about every state in the country investigate a suicide while in custody?

Except maybe for Texas, I guess.
