Cleveland monster Ariel Castro may have died due to auto-erotic asphyxiation, a new report states. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s report says there is, “consideration of the possibility of auto-erotic asphyxiation.” The report goes on to state that Castro was found with “his pants and underwear were pulled down to his ankles.”

Corrections officers found pictures of Castro’s family scattered around his cell as well as a bible that opened “to John Chapters 2 and 3.” The Cleveland Monster choked himself using a bed sheet.
