Ryan Jenkins, the reality show contestant wanted in the brutal killing of ex-wife Jasmine Fiore, hanged himself in a remote Canadian motel.
He was accused of killing Jasmine, a model whose body was so badly mutilated when found in a trash bin outside Los Angeles it had to be identified by her breast implants' serial numbers. He evaded a massive international manhunt for days as he crossed from California into his native Canada.
On Sunday evening, police responded to a call from motel staff about a dead person, and then called investigators who were part of the manhunt for Jenkins, said Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit.
The manager of The Thunderbird Motel and his nephew said they found Ryan hanging from the bar of a coat rack by a belt. They said a young woman had checked him in to the two-story inn surrounded by trees.
Kevin Walker, who manages the motel, said Ryan and the mystery woman arrived Thursday in a Chrysler PT Cruiser with tinted windows and license plates from Alberta, Ryan's home province. He stayed in the car while the woman checked them in, he said.
She was blonde, in her early 20s and "naturally pretty, one of those wholesome little ladies," he said.
Kevin said the woman paid cash for three nights' stay.
"He stayed in the car far, far away from the front of the office," he said. "I didn't think nothing of it because it's just a couple checking in."
Kevin said he never saw the woman again.
"I didn't see her leave, but apparently the tenant in No. 1 (next to Ryan's room) said she only stuck around for about 20 minutes," he said.
Adam Curt, a motel employee, said Ryan "looked stressed out," adding: "He wouldn't look anybody in the eye."
Kevin said he didn't recognize the man although Ryan's face had been all over the news.
The motel manager said when the couple didn't check out, he unlocked the room and found Ryan dead.
"I cracked the door and there he was, hanging there in front of me, feet touching" the floor, Kevin said. "He definitely wanted to die. I smelt death."
Michelle Beck, who lives near the motel, said people who stay there are "kind of seedy - lots of drugs addicts and people down on their luck."
“I was happy that he killed himself,” Robert Hasman, a former boyfriend Jasmine told The Today Today.

I could be wrong, but something smells fishy. I think the family of the ex-wife should demand to see his dead body. This man had money and he flees back home to Canada where US authorites have no jurisdiction. What's to say he hasn't faked his own death.
