Reality television contestant and murder suspect Ryan Jenkins has been found dead in a British Columbia motel:
Canadian police say fugitive murder suspect Ryan Jenkins has been found dead of an apparent suicide in a motel in British Columbia. Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit says police responded to a call about a dead person in Hope, east of Vancouver, and then called investigators who were part of the massive manhunt for Jenkins.
He was 32.
Details:
Meanwhile, sources told CTV's Alberta Bureau Chief Janet Dirks that the former real estate developer hanged himself.
Investigators on both sides of the border had asked for assistance from the public in their search for Jenkins, who is suspected of strangling Fiore and reporting her missing the evening of Aug. 15, then fleeing.
Police suspected that Jenkins had likely snuck back into his home country by car, boat and on foot.
Police didn't say how long Jenkins' body had been in the motel room. There had also been a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
