Ariel Castro -- who pleaded guilty last week to keeping three women captive in his home for more than a decade -- has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Ariel Castro, who held three women hostage in Cleveland for about a decade, killed himself in prison, authorities told CNN affiliate WOIO.

Castro was sentenced last month to life in prison without parole, plus 1,000 years.

Castro pleaded guilty to 937 counts in a plea deal that allowed him to avoid the death sentence.
