Josef Fritzl’s health is ‘rapidly declining’ and ‘he doesn’t want to live anymore’ as 84-year-old monster rots in prison for raping sex slave daughter in dungeon
Fritzl is reportedly kept in solitary confinement with four guards watching him, and suffers from dementia
JOSEF Fritzl’s health is rapidly declining and he reportedly doesn't want to live anymore as he rots in prison for turning his daughter into a sex slave.
Ten years ago the 84-year-old monster was discovered to have kept his daughter Elisabeth in a soundproof dungeon for 24 years, in which he raped her over 3,000 times and fathered seven children.
Now his fellow inmates believe the end may soon be near.
Fritzl, who is currently behind bars in Krems-Stein prison in Australia, is reportedly suffering from dementia and his condition has deteriorated in recent weeks.
A fellow prisoner told local media: “Fritzl was and still is separated from everyone else.
“He has totally withdrawn himself and barely leaves his cell. He doesn’t want contact with others, and all together it looks as though he has resigned himself to dying.”
He added that the other inmates do not want anything to do with Austria's most infamous convict.
LOATHED BY OTHER INMATES
The prisoner said: “Just hearing his name makes me nauseous.”
The poor woman’s ordeal finally came to an end on 19th April 2008.
Officially, Austrian authorities have refused to comment on Fritzl's state.
Meanwhile, Elisabeth has not had any contact with her father over the last 10 years.
She is now 52 and lives under a new alias in an unknown part of Austria with the children incestuously fathered by her evil dad.
SEVEN CHILDREN BY RAPE
Fritzl’s horrific crimes were only discovered when one of the children, Kerstin, slipped into a coma and he took her to hospital where doctors noted her malnourished condition and rotting teeth.
When Elisabeth was given permission to finally leave the sex dungeon to visit Kerstin in hospital, she was arrested and subsequently told the police about the horrific crimes her father had committed.
Fritzl, who said during his trial that he "actually meant well", was jailed for life in March 2009.
JUSTICE AFTER 24 YEARS
He is said to be extremely unpopular with other inmates and has to be kept in solitary confinement with four guards watching him.
In March 2016, Fritzl lost several teeth after getting into a punch-up with another inmate after prisoners set up a fake online dating profile for him.
In 2017, Fritzl paid £462 GBP to have his surname changed to Mayrhoff.
Unnamed inmates claimed that Fritzl, otherwise known as prisoner HNR 90632, wants to spend the last days of his life in "anonymity".
Fritzl's infamous house in Amstetten was bought by Herbert and Ingrid Houska for £143,581 GBP and it has since been renovated into 10 separate flats.

Herbert believes that the refurbishment wiped away the property’s dark history.
He said: “The stigma surrounding Amstetten has gone. I think really something beautiful has emerged and the past has been buried. Many residents congratulate me and are happy.
According to reports, the basement where Elisabeth was held has since been filled in by the Austrian authorities to prevent other perverts from worshipping it as a shrine.
