ANCHORAGE, Alaska -

Confessed serial killer Israel Keyes was mistakenly given a razor before he committed suicide. That's the word from Alaska Corrections officials.

The newly released report does not give a cause of death. But we know he slit his wrist and hanged himself inside his jail cell, where he was being held on murder charges for killing a teen in that state. Keyes also confessed to the random killings of Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex and indicated he had several other victims across the country.
