Officials said he was found hanging in his cell around 9:20 p.m.
Prison medical staff began performing lifesaving measures. Castro was transported to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m.
Castro was sentenced to life in prison for holding three women captive in Cleveland for more than a decade and raping them repeatedly.
Castro was not a part of the general prison population and was isolated from other inmates for his own protection because of his high profile.
