BREAKING NEWS: Ryan Jenkins Found Dead In Canada

UPDATE: Vancouver Sun August 23, 2009 6:54 PM

METRO VANCOUVER — Fugitive Ryan Jenkins, wanted in the murder of his swimsuit model ex-wife, has been found dead in a motel in Hope, police have confirmed.

It appears the reality TV star “took his own life,” said RCMP Sgt. Duncan Pound, spokesman for the RCMP’s federal border integrity program.

“The hotel staff had gone in to check on him… it would be speculation to say how long he had been in there,” said Pound at a press conference just minutes ago.

Earlier this afternoon, Mounties met with the media to confirm that the suspect is hiding out in western Canada.
