Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the permanent preservation of body parts, usually the entire or a portion of the skeleton.
Dahmer was found to be legally sane at his trial despite being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder.
On February 17, 1992, he was sentenced to fifteen terms of life imprisonment for fifteen of the sixteen murders he committed in Wisconsin. Dahmer was later sentenced to a sixteenth life sentence for an additional homicide.
