Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro, who was suspected of committing suicide on Sept. 3 by hanging, may have had something more lewd in mind. The man who was sentenced to life plus 1,000 years in prison, found in his jail cell dangling by way of his bed-sheet, could have been practicing auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Further investigations have led officials to believe that Castro's death was not a suicide, as confirmed by the coroner, but instead a personal miscalculation as he attempted "auto-erotic asphyxiation."

His failure to leave a suicide note, the absence of motivation, and his appearance at time death confirms this. Castro's pants and underwear were rolled down to his ankle as he hung from a hinge in the window, which made official speculate further.

Auto-erotic asphyxiation, also known as breath control play, is an activity when someone intentionally restricts oxygen to the brain through controlled strangulation for sexual arousal, and to heighten masturbatory sensation.

Splayed in front of Castro was a Bible turned to John Chapters 2 and 3, and pictures of his family arranged with precision.

Castro stated that he was a sex addict during the sentencing for the kidnap, imprisonment, rape and torture of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight. He also went on to state, "I'm not a monster. I have an addiction, just like an alcoholic has an addiction."

Swarms of individuals would disagree with that statement, as it was confirmed that he chained the three women in his basement, repeatedly raped them, beat them, impregnated them, tortured them, and treated them like animals. His charges carried 977 counts: 512 counts of kidnapping, 466 of rape, seven of gross sexual imposition, six of felonious assault, three of child endangerment, two of aggravated murder and one of possession of criminal tools.  He pled guilty to 937 counts, after holding the women prisoners for 10 years, and recieved the sentence of life plus 1000 years, just narrowly escaping the death sentence, ironically.
