Serial killer David Maust who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering three teens and burying their bodies in a basement died Friday, a day after he was found hanging from a twisted bed sheet in his jail cell...

Jail guards had found Maust, 51, hanging in his cell early Thursday, about 10 minutes after they told him that he was going to be transferred to a state prison later that day...

Higgins said Maust used a bed sheet braided into a rope to hang himself.

In a note found by the guards, Maust admitted to five killings.

This is a wonderful thing from a financial savings standpoint.

Can we get any other takers in prison?

This is terrible. Making him have to braid his own bed sheet to kill himself. These guys should be issued an appropriate length of nice, sturdy rope as soon as they are locked up.

Put them in a dark,silent cell that contains nothing but a toilet,a sink and a bed for 24 hours a day and most would do so in pretty short order.

Maybe they should be provided illustrated instructions on how to braid bed sheets.

Just like a basket from the Welcome Wagon. Here's a cyanide pill, a rope, and a whole bottle of sleeping pills. Enjoy your stay.
