The manhunt for murder suspect Ryan Jenkins is officially over. Canadian police found the former reality star dead in a hotel room this afternoon, E! News has confirmed.
Authorities have not yet released an official cause of death, but police say the 32-year-old died of an apparent suicide. He reportedly hanged himself.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police found his body at a room in the Thunder Bird Hotel in Hope, British Columbia, Canada a town 84 miles east of Vancouver.
The death ends an international manhunt for the Megan Wants a Millionaire finalist, who fled to his native Canada on foot last week.
"The sadness of all this is that Mr. Jenkins will not be standing before an Orange County jury for his crime," Buena Park Police Lt. Steve Holliday said in a press conference last night.
Jenkins was charged in the gruesome murder of his ex-wife, former swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore, after her nude body was found stuffed in a suitcase inside of a trash bin on Aug. 15. Fiore, 28, was missing her teeth and fingers.
