Canadian authorities confirmed on Sunday night that Ryan Jenkins, who was on the run after murdering his wife Jasmine Fiore, was found dead at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia, near Vancouver.

Sgt. Duncan Pound, spokesman for the RCMP’s federal border integrity program, says Ryan Jenkins appears to have taken his own life by hanging himself in the hotel room.

“The hotel staff had gone in to check on him… it would be speculation to say how long he had been in there.” Sgt. Pound said.

Ryan Jenkins was charged with the murder of his wife, bikini model Jasmine Fiore, on August 20. Jenkins then fled across the border by boat from Washington State to BC, Canada. Authorities knew he was hiding somewhere in Canada and were scouring the area.

Ryan Jenkins’ body was identified by fingerprinting.

Jasmine Fiore’s body was found in a suitcase in Buena Park, Calif., on Aug. 15.

Ryan Jenkins was a finalist on the VH1 show, Megan Wants A Millionaire, which the network has pulled off the air.
