    Jeffrey Dahmer's dad has died in hospice care at the age of 87, health bosses in the US have confirmed.<\/p>\n

    Lionel Herbert Dahmer spent the last few decades of his life defending his serial killer son, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1992. Also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, the younger Dahmer murdered and dismembered 17 men between 1978 and 1991 and even ate or mummified the body parts of his later victims.<\/p>\n

    Lionel Dahmer's death was confirmed to the US Sun by an employee at Medina County Health Department today (Tuesday, December 5). His cause of death has not yet been publicly announced.<\/p>\n

    The news comes less than a year after Lionel was widowed by his second wife Shari, who died at the age of 81 of heart problems. She passed away on January 13, 2023, in a nursing home in Seville, Ohio.<\/p>\n

    Lionel took up residence in the village, which had a population of less than 2,500 people in 2021, after his son's murderous rampage was exposed. The devoted dad stood by Dahmer even after he was murdered in prison in 1994 at the age of 34.<\/p>\n

    The pair's close relationship was even laid bare in the controversial Netflix series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, released in September 2022. Lionel has also spoken candidly about his bond with his son and even told the harrowing story of how he once nearly opened a box containing the remains of one of his eldest child's final victims.<\/p>\n
