Ryan Alexander Jenkins Aug 24 (IBNS) TV Reality Star Ryan Jenkins, who was on the run after allegedly killing his Playboy model wife Jasmine Fiore, was found dead in a motel room in Canada.

People.com reported that with Jenkins death the international manhunt for accused killer is over.

Canadian authorities confirmed that Jenkins, sought after for the brutal murder of his wife, bikini model Fiore, was found dead at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia, near Vancouver.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Federal Border Integrity Unit says it’s believed the 32-year-old, who is a native of Canada, took his own life. “We aren’t releasing that cause of death at this time,” Sgt. Duncan Pound said. “What we’re prepared to say is that the preliminary evidence at this time appears to be a suicide.”

Jenkins was wanted in California on first-degree murder charges. He was found dead By motel staff and identified By fingerprinting, cops said.

Fiore’s dismembered body was found in a suitcase in Buena Park, Calif., on Aug. 15. The platinum blonde Playboy model’s fingers and teeth had been cut off and pulled out to avoid identification, but she was able to be identified By the serial numbers of her breast implants.

Jenkins, a contestant on Megan Wants a Millionaire and I Love Money 3 (and a successful real-estate developer), “was the last person seen with the victim when she was still alive,” said Buena Park police Lt. Gary Worrall.

Jenkins, 32, was also the one who reported his wife missing.
