The man who held three women captive in his Cleveland home for nearly a decade before one escaped and alerted authorities has been found dead and is believed to have committed suicide, a prison official said. HT Image Ariel Castro, 53, was found hanging in his cell around 9:20pm on Tuesday at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, located south of Columbus in central Ohio, JoEllen Smith, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman, stanley cup said early Wednesday. Prison medical staff performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation before Castro was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 10:50pm. He was in protective custody because of the notoriety of his case, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, but was not on suicide watch, Smith said. She said suicide watch entails constant observation. Castro was also watched closely in Cuyahoga County Jail in the several weeks after his arrest and before his case was resolved by a guilty plea, with logs noting his activity every 10 minutes. He was taken off county jail suicide watch in early June after authorities determined he was not a suicide risk. Castro s attorneys tried unsucc stanley cup essfully to have a psychological examination of Castro done at the Cuyahoga County Jail, where Castro stanley cup was housed before he was turned over to state authorities following his conviction, his attorney, Jaye Schlachet, told The Associated Press early on Wednesday. Schlachet said he could not immediately comment further. In Kiim 6.2-magnitude quake hits off Solomon Islands
A solar-powered plane which can fly without fuel has taken off for its first 24-hour test flight before embarking on circumnavigation of t stanley cup he earth. HT Image The plane jordan , named Solar Impulse, left Payerne airfield in Switzerland on Wednesday. Its pilot, Andre Borschberg, will take the prototype to an altitude of 27,900 feet by evening, when a decision will be made whether to fly the plane through the night using solar power stored in its batteries. If he goes ahead, the plane will slowly descend to 4,920 feet before midnight, where Borschberg will stay until attempting a dawn landing. Scientists working on the project hopes the plane, which has a 260-foot wingspan, will circle the globe using its 12,000 cells and take energy from the sun, the Daily Mail reported. The goal of the project is to have a solar-powered plane flying day and night without fuel, said team co-founder Bertrand Piccard. He said the test flight - the third major step after its first flea hop and stanley cup an extended flight earlier this year - will demonstrate whether the ultimate goal is feasible: to fly the plane around the world. This flight is crucial for the credibility of the project, said Piccard. Piccard, who achieved the first non-stop circumnavigation of the globe in a balloon, the Breitling Orbiter III, in 1999, said that if successful, the next step will be an Atlantic crossing. That will be done in a second, lighter prototype, involving new challenges and dangers, he added. |
