REALITY TV STAR 'COMMITS SUICIDE' AFTER PLAYMATE MURDER

The U.S. reality TV contestant accused of the grizzly murder of his Playboy model ex-wife JASMINE FIORE has been found dead at a motel in Canada, according to reports.
Ryan Jenkins was charged with the murder of former Playmate Fiore last week (begs17Aug09), with Canadian authorities issuing an arrest warrant while an international manhunt was put into action after he disappeared.
The search for Jenkins, who appeared as a contestant on the VH1 reality show Megan Wants a Millionaire, was stepped up after it was discovered that her "fingers had been cut off, and all of her teeth had been forcibly removed".
Fiore's body was found dumped in a Buena Park, California trash bin earlier this month (Aug09).
Now, police believe they have found the body of Jenkins at a hotel in British Columbia, just outside Vancouver. It is thought he committed suicide.
Jenkins, who was a real estate mogul, was believed to have fled the area after his boat was found in a marina near the border south of Vancouver.
He wed Fiore in March (09), but the couple split after Jenkins allegedly struck the model at a hotel in Las Vegas.
In June (09), he was charged with battery constituting domestic violence. The pair's marriage was annulled earlier this summer (09).
