Ryan Alexander Jenkins, the alleged murderer and wanted by the authorities for the gruesome death and mutilation of his ex-wife was found dead Sunday of an apparent suicide after hanging himself in a secluded Canadian motel, authorities said.

A reality show contestant Jenkins’, aged 32 years old, was found in The Thunderbird Motel on an isolated road on the outskirts of Hope, B.C. at the entrance to the western province’s mountainous interior. His body was found in a room at the out-of-the-way motel. 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.

Jenkins was the one pointed to have Jasmine Fiore, his ex-wife’s teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off, apparently to impede her identification. Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office. After the U.S. Justice Department issued an extradition request, Canada issued a nation-wide warrant for Jenkins’ arrest. Canadian authorities initially launched a massive border search using helicopters, ground police and dogs.

Jenkins was recently a contestant on VH1 reality show “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” in which wealthy young men tried to win over a materialistic blonde. The network canceled the show Friday. He also was a participant in an as-yet-unaired competitive reality series, “I Love Money 3.” A VH1 spokesman said no decision has been made on whether or not to run the show.
