People.com is just reporting that Ryan Jenkins has been found dead in a motel room in Canada. Right now authorities are suggesting that it looks like a suicide. I suppose we can't be completely surprised by this. Suicide is an act of the desperate and Jenkins was certainly desperate. Part of me feels thankful that he's dead and it's over, the state of California has just been saved the cost of a lengthy murder trial and yet it feels as though the U.S. judicial system has lost out. Here is a man that for what ever reason (probably jealousy) took the life of his wife. As if that wasn't bad enough, he then mutilated her body to try and throw the police off the scent. I'm sure Jasmine Fiore's family and friends will think that Jenkins got off lightly. Rather than have to face the music and pay for what he had done, he took the coward's way out through suicide. Clearly, Jenkins is someone who is deluded in thinking that death solves problems whether it's an imperfect wife or being hunted for her murder.
At the end of the day, I can't help but feel how wasteful and pointless violence is.
