Reality star accused of killing model found dead

Los Angeles: Reality TV star Ryan Jenkins who was accused of killing his ex-wife, Playboy model Jasmine Fiore, has been found dead in a motel in Canada today, police said.

The 32-year-old Canadian, who was a finalist on the VH1 show `Megan Wants A Millionaire`, was found hanging inside his room at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia last night, Canadian authorities confirmed last night. Jenkins who is wanted in California for first-degree murder charges for the brutal murder of his wife, Playboy model Jasmine Fiore was found dead by motel staff and identified by fingerprinting, police said. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police`s Federal Border Integrity Unit say it`s believed that Jenkins took his own life, People magazine reported. "We aren`t releasing the cause of death at this time. What we`re prepared to say is that the preliminary evidence at this time appears to be a suicide," Sgt. Duncan Pound said. An international manhunt was launched for Jenkins after a dismembered body of Fiore was found in a suitcase in a park in California on August 15. The 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. Bureau Report
