He was convicted of fifteen of the sixteen murders he had committed in Wisconsin, and was sentenced to fifteen terms of life imprisonment on February 17, 1992.Dahmer was later sentenced to a sixteenth term of life imprisonment for an additional homicide committed in Ohio in 1978. On November 28, 1994, Dahmer was beaten to death by Christopher Scarver, a fellow inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin.
