United Press International reported that in March 1994, Joyce Dahmer (then Flint) tried to commit suicide. At the time, she was living in Fresno and was discovered lying face-down in her kitchen “after turning on her gas oven and leaving its door open.”
Police also located a will that Joyce had left behind, along with a handwritten note that read, “It’s been a lonely life, especially today. Please cremate me.”
She went on to write, “I love my sons, Jeff and David.” In the will, Joyce left everything to David. A little less than eight months later, in November of 1994, Jeffrey Dahmer would be murdered in prison.
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is currently available on Netflix.
