Jeffrey Dahmer pleaded guilty by reason of insanity to 15 of the 17 murders but a jury found him sane, according to History. On February 17, 1992, a judge sentenced Dahmer to 15 consecutive life sentences, per CBS News. He would serve a little over two years in prison. A fellow inmate named Christopher Scarver beat Dahmer to death as the serial killer, 34, cleaned a bathroom at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, on November 28, 1994, per History.
Because investigators considered Dahmer's body as evidence in his own murder, they held on to it for more than a year, according to The New York Times. Dahmer's brain sat in a jar of formaldehyde at the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office in Madison, Wisconsin, where it had been since his autopsy, per The New York Times. After Scarver's conviction for Dahmer's murder — he claimed God told him to kill Dahmer and another inmate, per History — authorities released the corpse to Dahmer's parents. Both his father, Lionel Dahmer, and his mother, Joyce Flint, agreed on what to do with their son's body, but the brain was a very different matter.
