Since Netflix released the latest of many Jeffrey Dahmer shows, interest in him and his life has increased.

Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer who murdered and cannibalized 17 young men between 1978 and 1991, earning him the title of the Milwaukee Cannibal.

Besides cannibalizing his victims, Dahmer also performed necrophilia and fellatio on the severed heads of his victims.

After being arrested in 1991, he was beaten to death three years later by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver in Portage, Wisconsin.

Jeffrey Dahmer’s Height

Jeffrey Dahmer is 6’0″ tall or 185 cm and weighs 160 pounds or 82 kilograms. In his mug shots and photographs taken while he was prison, we can tell that he was at least 6’0″.

However, because of his blond hair that stands up slightly, it is possible that he was closer to 5’11” then 6’0″.

How Old Was Jeffrey Dahmer When He Died?

Jeffrey Dahmer was murdered in Wisconsin’s Columbia Correctional Facility in Portage County by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver. He was only 34 years old when he was killed.

Scarver committed the murder with a gym weight and said he killed Dahmer because he was tired of Dahmer taunting the other inmates.

What Did Jeffrey Dahmer Say About Killing?

When asked about the crimes he had committed, Jeffrey Dahmer had the following to say.
