Ronnie Shelton was sentenced to serve anywhere between 1,554 and 3,195 years in an Ohio prison after he was convicted for raping over 30 women in 1989

Cleveland's infamous "West Park Rapist," Ronnie Shelton, who had been sentenced to thousands of years in prison for raping over 30 women, reportedly jumped off a building at the Grafton Correctional Institution last week. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office records show that Shelton suffered a fractured skull and other injuries when he landed on the concrete floor.

Investigators are treating the incident as a suspected suicide and do not suspect any foul play involved, records state. Shelton was imprisoned in 1989 for a series of rapes.
