He allegedly took his ex-wife's life, and now he allegedly took his own. M
egan Wants a Millionaire finalist and
supposed I Love Money 3 winner Ryan Jenkins was found dead in a motel in British Columbia, as confirmed by the RCMP.
At a news conference in Surrey, B.C., Sgt. Duncan Pound, spokesman for the RCMP's federal border integrity program, confirmed the identity of the man in the motel located in Hope, B.C.. It was indeed Calgary native Ryan Jenkins, who appeared as though he died by his own hand.
According to a spokesperson for the California district attorney's office, Jenkins was found hanging in his room at the Thunderbird Motel. No one knew the exact time he committed the act, and there were no announcements on whether a confession was written before the suicide.
"The hotel staff had gone in to check on him," Pound explained. "[I]t would be speculation to say how long he had been in there."
Earlier that day, the police reported that the suspect was hiding out somewhere in Canada. Specifics weren't given, but there was a nationwide warrant released for him, for the murder of swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore.
We reported the incident last week, from Jenkins being a "person of interest" for the police to his ties to VH1's reality shows. The suspect has been on the run since the body of 28-year-old Fiore was discovered in a suitcase thrown in a dumpster in Buena Park.
Further investigation revealed that the
Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant had a history of domestic violence, prompting the
show's production company to release a statement regarding casting. While there could be further developments on this story, it seems as though it's already been ended quickly by the suspect. We'll all be left hanging (no pun intended) as to the fate of future VH1 reality shows, especially now that
Megan Wants a Millionaire and
I Love Money 3 have been canceled.
