Editing Jeffrey Dahmer (section)

===Ambassador Hotel===
On November 20, 1987, Dahmer, at the time still residing with his grandmother, encountered a 25-year-old man from [[Ontonagon, Michigan]], named Steven Tuomi at a bar and persuaded him to return to the Ambassador Hotel in Milwaukee, where Dahmer had rented a room for the evening. According to Dahmer, he had no intention of killing Tuomi, but intended to simply drug him and lie beside him as he explored his body. The following morning, Dahmer awoke to find Tuomi lying beneath him on the bed, his chest "crushed in" and "black and blue" with bruises. Blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, and Dahmer's fists and one forearm were extensively bruised. Dahmer later said he had no memory of having killed Tuomi,<ref name="Bardsley-7"/>{{sfn|Norris|1992|pp=137, 141}} and that he "could not believe this had happened".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.news9live.com/knowledge/jeffrey-dahmer-know-about-life-and-crimes-of-the-american-serial-killer-whose-gruesome-crimes-have-created-worldwide-sensation-201753|title=Jeffrey Dahmer: Know About Life and Crimes of the American Serial Killer Whose Gruesome Crimes have Created Worldwide Sensation|publisher=News9Live|date=October 13, 2022|access-date=October 22, 2022|archive-date=October 22, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022202646/https://www.news9live.com/knowledge/jeffrey-dahmer-know-about-life-and-crimes-of-the-american-serial-killer-whose-gruesome-crimes-have-created-worldwide-sensation-201753|url-status=live}}</ref>

Dahmer purchased a large suitcase, in which he transported Tuomi's body to his grandmother's residence. One week later,{{sfn|Masters|1993|p=110}} he severed the head, arms, and legs,{{sfn|Norris|1992|p=137}} then filleted the bones from the body before cutting the flesh into pieces small enough to handle. Dahmer placed the flesh inside plastic garbage bags.{{sfn|Masters|1993|p=110}} He wrapped the bones inside a sheet and pounded them into splinters with a sledgehammer. The dismemberment process took Dahmer approximately two hours. He disposed of all of Tuomi's remains, excluding the head,{{sfn|Masters|1993|p=111}} in the trash.{{sfn|Norris|1992|p=142}}

For two weeks following Tuomi's killing, Dahmer retained Tuomi's head wrapped in a blanket. After two weeks, Dahmer boiled the head in a mixture of Soilax<ref>{{cite web|last=Hayden|first=Aly|url=https://www.oxygen.com/blogs/jeffrey-dahmer-crime-scene-photos|title=Jeffrey Dahmer Crime Scene Photographs|website=oxygen.com|date=November 9, 2017|access-date=October 18, 2022|archive-date=October 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221017172919/https://www.oxygen.com/blogs/jeffrey-dahmer-crime-scene-photos|url-status=live}}</ref> (an [[alkalinity|alkali]]-based industrial detergent) and bleach in an effort to retain the skull, which he then used as stimulus for masturbation. Eventually, the skull became too brittle by this bleaching process, so Dahmer pulverized and disposed of it.{{sfn|Masters|1993|p=111}}
