Ryan Jenkins Found Dead
Posted by Media Outrage on August 24th, 2009
Ryan Jenkins was found dead in a British Columbia Hotel room from an apparent suicide.
Via Celebrity-Gossip:
He’s been the target of a massive international police search initiative, and over the weekend police found Ryan Jenkins dead.
The murder suspect’s remains were found at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia, according to the California District Attorney’s office.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Duncan Pound confirmed that it appeared Jenkins “took his own life,” in a statement to press.
“The hotel staff had gone in to check on him. It would be speculation to say how long he had been in there,” Pound added.
Jenkins fled the USA last week after he became a “person of interest” in the mutilation murder of his ex-wife, swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore.
Via TMZ:
UPDATE: TMZ spoke with the manager of the motel and one of the residents. They say Jenkins checked in on Friday. He was dropped off by a woman in her early 20s who drove a silver PT Cruiser with Alberta license plates. She stayed for about 20 minutes and wasn’t seen again. The room was paid for two days. When Jenkins didn’t check it out today, the manager and his nephew went to check on him. When there was no answer, they entered the room and found Jenkins hanging by his belt from a coat rack. He was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
UPDATE: Lt. Steve Holliday of Buena Park PD addressed the press, saying, “The sadness of this is all is that Mr. Jenkins will not stand before an Orange County jury for his crime.”
UPDATE: His body was discovered at about 5:00 PM PT.
UPDATE: Jenkins was apparently ID’ed through fingerprints.
UPDATE: RCMP Sgt. Duncan Pound: “At this present time the investigation into the circumstances of his death is continuing, but preliminary evidence suggests that he took his own life. Any further details will not be released at this time as this investigation remains in its infancy.”

Did i miss something cuz when did hung from a coat rack become the suicidal thing to do. I’ve been in ALOT of hotels motels and hoilday inns and i can’t remember the coat rack being high enough to hang from. granted the whole situation is sad but if he was loopy enough to kill her cut her finger and *ill* pullout all of her teeth, stuff her body into a suitcase then walk into canada (like thats hard). then i was expecting some OJ, butch cassidy, last stand sh!t. instead he might as well got caught in the dumpster next to hers on some Ray Carruth sh!t.
