Lake County, IN - Convicted killer David Maust has died, one day after he attempted suicide at the Lake County Jail.

A spokesman for St. Anthony's Medical Center says the 51-year-old Maust was pronounced dead at 7:30 Central Time Friday morning. 

Maust pleaded guilty to murdering three teens and burying their bodies in the basement of a Hammond home. He was sentenced to three consecutive life terms without the chance for parole.

He also served time for killing teens in Illinois and Germany.

Lake County Sheriff's Corporal Mike Higgins says Maust used a bed sheet braided into a rope to hang himself. A seven-page suicide note was found in his cell.

He was found about 4:00AM Thursday by a correctional officer, who administered CPR.
