The twisted life of Ariel Castro might have come to an equally bizarre end: death by autoerotic asphyxiation. The report issued yesterday by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction made repeated references to the fact that the Cleveland man - who was serving a life sentence, plus 1,000 years for kidnapping and holding three Cleveland women prisoner for up to a decade - gave no indication that he planned to kill himself before he was found hanging in his prison cell the night of Sept. 3. 
  
 The twisted life of Ariel Castro might have come to an equally bizarre end: death by autoerotic asphyxiation. 
  
 The report issued yesterday by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction made repeated references to the fact that the Cleveland man � who was serving a life sentence, plus 1,000 years for kidnapping and holding three Cleveland women prisoner for up to a decade � gave no indication that he planned to kill himself before he was found hanging in his prison cell the night of Sept. 3. 
  
 �There appears to be no known, substantiated motivation for the self-inflicted death,� the agency report said.

 The investigation of the second high-profile suicide in Ohio prisons in a little more than a month again faulted corrections officers for failing to complete their rounds and falsifying records to show they did. 
  
 The conclusion that Castro�s prison guards, Caleb Ackley, 26, and Ryan Murphy, 27, neglected their duty echoes results of an earlier probe in the Aug. 4 suicide of Death Row inmate Billy Slagle. Four officers in the two cases are currently suspended with pay pending further disciplinary action. 
  
 �Rounds were not properly completed. Post log books were falsified. There was no satisfactory verification process in place. Shift supervisors were not given clear direction on verification procedures and expectations,� the Castro report said. 
  
 For the first time, the report also revealed an unusual detail: Castro was found hanging with a bedsheet around his neck, attached to a window hinge in his cell, but his prison-issue pants and underwear were at his ankles. 
  
 Nearby in Castro�s cell the night of his death were his Bible, open to chapters 2 and 3 of the Book of John; a display of family photos; and two sheets of paper, one with Bible verses written on it and the other with the names of Castro�s children and grandchildren. 
  
 The report suggests, there is �the possibility� that Castro�s death resulted from �autoerotic asphyxiation,� a practice in which someone is sexually aroused by shutting of the supply of oxygen to their brain by choking or hanging. Autoerotic asphyxiation sometimes results in unintentional death. 
  
 Franklin County Coroner Dr. Jan Gorniak flatly rejects that speculation. 
  
 �I�m standing by my ruling, hanging by suicide,� she said. �Based on the totality of the scene, the pieces don�t fit that puzzle.� 
  
 Gorniak said she was never told that Castro was found hanging with his pants at his ankles. But she said that likely is not relevant because his clothing might have shifted in his death throes. Gorniak said she found no semen in her autopsy of Castro�s body. 
  
 Just as in the Slagle suicide, Christopher Mabe, president of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, challenged the investigative findings. He said the prison administration has a � pattern of scapegoating front-line workers after a spate of high-profile prison suicides.� 
  
 �Why isn�t DR&C; focused on the systemic and more-dangerous problems of increased violence, overcrowding or the need for mental-health services in our prisons?� Mabe said in a statement. 
  
 Prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said as a result of the findings in the two suicides, the agency is �putting in place statewide a system of supervisors conducting random checks to verify that rounds are being conducted according to policy. This will be done on a weekly basis.� 
  
 Smith said despite the union�s assertion, the number of employees working in high-security and restrictive housing settings has not been reduced. However, the agency has reduced the overall number of corrections officers by several hundred due to cutbacks. 
  
 Smith said prisons Director Gary Mohr is meeting this week with Fred Cohen and Lindsay Hayes, independent consults hired by the agency to review suicide-prevention policies and make recommendations. 
  
 Castro, 53, pleaded guilty to nearly 1,000 counts related to his imprisonment of three women in his Cleveland home for a decade, including aggravated murder � for forcing one of the victims to miscarry, kidnapping and rape. 
  
 Corrections officers were supposed to check on Castro every half hour, notes the report, which was partially censored for security reasons. However, log entries verifying five of 10 rounds checks were falsified, investigators found. But the check less than a half-hour before Castro�s body was found had been completed properly, as was the one in which the discovery was made. 
  
 The probe noted that Castro left no suicide note, expressed no suicidal inclinations during family visits, and showed no suicidal tendencies in several assessments. He was not on suicide or mental-health watch. 
  
 The report also faulted the response time of the MedCare ambulance, which took 34 minutes to get to the prison after being called. The state�s contract requires a 15-minute response time, or that another ambulance company be called if they couldn�t make the run. 
  
 Castro was found at 9:18 the night of his death, but he was not pronounced dead at the hospital until about an hour and a half later.

 The Cleveland kidnapper was found hanging in his cell on Sept. 3 at 9:18 p.m. 
  
  
  
 The new review indicates that guards did not properly complete all of their rounds that night. It also says the guards falsified post log books. 
  
  
  
 Two guards, Caleb Ackley, 26, and Ryan Murphy, 27, are already on administrative leave with pay during the investigation. 
  
  
  
 Ackley and Murphy were on duty when Castro killed himself at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, 10TV reported in September. 
  
  
  
 The review also indicates that the MedCare Ambulance response to the emergency call was "significantly delayed." 
  
  
  
 The contract with the EMS provider indicates they should have a 15-minute response, but it took 34 minutes on the night Castro died, according to the report. 
  
 “At this time, we received the call. We dispatched the closest unit. We continue to investigate and improve upon our process and system, as far as the deployment,” said MedCare Ambulance Vice President Phil Koster. 
  
 The report said Castro was not en route to the hospital until at least an hour after he was discovered. 
  
  
  
 “With limited resources, you can't always hit every objective every single time,” said Koster. 
  
 The report also says that Castro was found hanging with his pants and underwear pulled down. 
  
  
  
 The report says this information has led authorities to believe that Castro may have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation. 
  
  
  
 Since the release of the report, the ODRC says they're changing their policy by adding random spot checks by supervisors, since it was found that Castro went unchecked at times.

Prison guards failed to properly make their rounds and check on prisoners the night Ariel Castro apparently hanged himself, and then falsified their log book to indicate that they had, according to an Ohio Department of Correction report released today. It wasn't the only problem that night: When guards did find Castro, they called an ambulance, but that ambulance was "significantly delayed," the report says. The ambulance company's contract states that it must respond within 15 minutes, but it took 34 minutes to show up that night, WBNS-10 Columbus reports. It was fully an hour before Castro was taken to the hospital. The report also raises the possibility that Castro didn't intentionally kill himself, noting that he left no note and displayed no suicidal tendencies, the Columbus Dispatch reports. It noted that his pants and underwear were around his ankles, leading it to suspect "the possibility of auto-erotic asphyxiation." The Dispatch also notes that the report's findings were almost identical to those related to the suicide of an Ohio death row inmate in August. The guards involved in both incidents have been suspended.
