We present a search for an unstable sterile neutrino by looking for a resonant signal in eight years of atmospheric $ν_{μ}$ data collected from 2011 to 2019 at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Both the (stable) three-neutrino and the $3 + 1$ sterile neutrino models are disfavored relative to the unstable sterile neutrino model, though with $p$ values of 2.8% and 0.81%, respectively, we do not observe evidence for $3 + 1$ neutrinos with neutrino decay. The best-fit parameters for the sterile neutrino with decay model from this study are $Δ m_{41}^{2} = 6. 7_{- 2.5}^{+ 3.9} {eV}^{2}$ , $\sin^{2} 2 θ_{24} = 0.3 3_{- 0.17}^{+ 0.20}$ , and $g^{2} = 2.5 π \pm 1.5 π$ , where $g$ is the decay-mediating coupling. The preferred regions of the $3 + 1 + decay$ model from short-baseline oscillation searches are excluded at 90% C.L.
