A man suspected of murdering his wife near Los Angeles has been found dead in a motel room in the Canadian province of British Columbia, police say.

Ryan Jenkins, 32, had been the subject of a massive manhunt after the naked body of Jasmine Fiore, a 28-year-old former model, was found in a suitcase, the BBC reported.

He had reported his wife missing, and then disappeared himself. His boat was was found near the US-Canada border.

Police said it was unclear how long Jenkins' body had been in the motel. Sgt Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police says investigators were alerted after police had responded to a call about a dead person at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, east of Vancouver.

A police source in California said that Jenkins had hanged himself and was identified by his fingerprints.

Jenkins had been taking part in the show Megan Wants a Millionaire. Described as an investment banker, Jenkins was one of several wealthy young men trying to win the affections of a young woman in the show. The TV channel VH1 canceled the series after he was identified as a suspect.

Fiore had no connection with the show, but she and Jenkins had married in Las Vegas in March.

Her mangled body was found in a suitcase in a metal rubbish bin in Buena Park, south of Los Angeles, on 15 August. She was identified by a serial number on her breast implants.
