| The Ohio Department for Rehabilitation and Correction published its findings on Thursday. | |
| The report said that prison guards had failed to check Castro at least eight times between 15:03 and 20:15 local time on 3 September. He was found hanged at 21:18. | |
| The document said that "post log books were falsified" and that "there was no satisfactory verification process in place". | |
| It was also revealed that Castro "was found in his cell with a Bible open to John Chapters 2 and 3". | |
| "Additionally, he had pictures of his family out and arranged in a poster-board fashion. His pants and underwear were pulled down to his ankles." | |
| The convict left no suicide note. | |
| The report said Castro's intentions were unclear, however the facts had been "relayed to the Ohio State Highway Patrol for consideration of the possibility of auto-erotic asphyxiation". |
