how did jeffrey dahmer die

Jeffrey Dahmer, one of America's most notorious serial killers, died in prison in 1994. He was serving multiple life sentences for murdering 17 boys and young men between 1978 and 1991. Dahmer's death was the result of an attack by a fellow inmate. On the morning of November 28, 1994, Dahmer was beaten to death in the prison gymnasium by Christopher Scarver, another inmate serving a life sentence for murder. Scarver later said that he attacked Dahmer because he believed that Dahmer was mocking him. Dahmer was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later from severe head trauma. After Dahmer's death, it was revealed that he had been repeatedly harassed and threatened by other inmates due to his notoriety. The prison guards were aware of this, but did not take any steps to protect Dahmer. As a result of Dahmer's death, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections tightened security protocols in its prisons to ensure that such an incident does not occur again.
