VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Canadian police say fugitive
murder suspect Ryan Jenkins has been found dead of an apparent
suicide in a motel in British Columbia.
Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border
integrity unit says police responded to a call about a dead person
in Hope, east of Vancouver, and then called investigators who were
part of the massive manhunt for Jenkins.
The real estate developer and reality show contestant was wanted
in California on first-degree murder charges after the mutilated
body of his ex-wife was found near Los Angeles.
Jenkins, 32, disappeared last week but his boat was found
Wednesday at a marina not far from the U.S.-Canada border south of
Vancouver.
Pound says police don't yet know how long Jenkins was at the
motel before his body was discovered.
