A Metal Bar

Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious American serial killer and sex offender who murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. He was known for his heinous crimes, which included rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, and cannibalism.

Dahmer was eventually caught in 1991. He was found guilty and sentenced to 15 consecutive life sentences.

On November 28, 1994, Dahmer was beaten to death by another inmate, Christopher Scarver, at the Columbia Correctional Institution. Dahmer and Scarver were both assigned to work detail in the prison gym when Scarver, who was also serving a life sentence for murder, attacked Dahmer with a metal bar. Another inmate, Jesse Anderson, was also killed in the attack.


Dahmer was bludgeoned to death with a metal bar from a weight machine. Anderson died of his injuries shortly thereafter. Scarver later claimed that he attacked Dahmer and Anderson because he believed they were taunting and threatening him, and because he had a personal vendetta against Dahmer due to the nature of his crimes.

Scarver later claimed that he attacked Dahmer and Anderson because he believed they were taunting and threatening him. Scarver was convicted of the murders and sentenced to two additional life sentences.

Christopher Scarver is a convicted murderer who gained notoriety for the beating death of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in 1994. Scarver was born on July 6, 1969, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and grew up in a troubled household. His father was abusive and his mother suffered from mental illness. Scarver was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his early 20s and had a history of violent behavior.

In 1990, Scarver was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of Steven Lohman, a former boss whom Scarver believed was a secret FBI agent. Scarver was incarcerated at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, where he was assigned to work detail in the prison gym.

Scarver was convicted of the murders of Dahmer and Anderson and sentenced to two additional life sentences. In the years following the attack, Scarver has largely remained out of the public eye. He is still incarcerated in Wisconsin, and has been described by prison officials as a "model prisoner." However, his attack on Dahmer has made him a controversial figure, with some seeing him as a vigilante seeking justice and others viewing him as a dangerous criminal who committed an act of violence.


Dahmer's death was met with mixed reactions. Some saw it as an act of justice, while others felt that it was a tragic loss of an opportunity to study the mind of a notorious serial killer. Despite the controversy surrounding his death, Dahmer remains a highly studied and infamous figure in the annals of criminal history.
