INMATE BEATEN WITH DAHMER DIES OF INJURIES

A prisoner who was bludgeoned along with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer died Wednesday after being taken off life support.

Jesse Anderson, sentenced to life in prison for killing his wife, died at University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, hospital spokeswoman Lisa Brunette said.

Dahmer, who admitted killing 17 young men and boys, mutilating and sometimes cannibalizing his victims, died shortly after the attack Monday in a prison restroom he was assigned to clean.

Prison officials said Christopher Scarver, 25, was the sole suspect in the slayings. He is serving a life term for murder.

Columbia County Sheriff James Smith said eight people were in the prison's recreation area around the time of the attacks, including two guards, a recreation director and other inmates.
