There you have it…the search is over. Ryan Alexander Jenkins was found dead in a hotel room at The Thunderbird Motel in Hope, BC, Canada. The cause of his death…he hung himself.

Guess he couldn’t live with himself. So gross.

Here’s the AP video:

**Update**They’re investigating whether or not Ryan had an accomplice.

    Gross. I didn’t really know who he was, but apparently, he grew up in Calgary, which is just a bit south of my hometown. Ew.

    I don’t remember hearing much about this guy on Canadian news channels. Perhaps the coverage in BC was more – since that was where he ended up escaping to – but in Alberta, there wasn’t much, even though his hometown is here.

    I wonder how he got through – the border police had been notified by the US so they had dogs and helicopters and such trying to find him. But his boat was found in BC, so I’m wondering if perhaps he came in from the West side of British Columbia, as opposed to through the border – like going up around Vancouver Island.

    And then some woman checked him in to the hotel, so maybe he convinced her to help him somehow. Who knows?

    Somebody called it in the comments, saying, “They’ll probably find him hanging in a motel room.” Wow.

    Georgia, I think he walked across the border, probably in the middle of nowhere. As I heard it, he docked his boat and walked.

    According to the LA Times, he was found by the Coast Guard off the coast of Blaine, Washington and then he got into Canadian waters, so Canadian authorities chased him with a helicopter and a boat, but he went back into US waters, then docked at some marina and walked in.

    So, he didn’t come straight up into British Columbia from the Washington/Idaho/Montana area. That would be stupid, I imagine that there were cops everywhere in that area. He probably came in near Semiahoo or White Rock, they’re right on the coast, fairly far south.

    I wonder how he got to Hope though, it’s nearly 2 hours from the coast. Maybe he hitched a ride from someone – like that woman who checked him in.

    Oh well. At least now they know where he is.
