TMZ is reporting that Ryan Jenkins, the Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant accused of killing his wife Jasmine Fiore, has been found dead in an apparent suicide. They say he was in a hotel in British Columbia, where staff found him hanging.
There’s not really much to add to that by way of commentary. Tragedy begets tragedy. Of course, our sympathy goes out to the friends and families of Jasmine Fiore and Ryan Jenkins, as it has for the past several days.

The saddest thing about this is he will not go on trial for the horrible things he did to that poor woman. Even now I still think Vh1 should still air Megan Wants A Millionaire. The only thing that connects this with the show is a contestant. He did not kill her on or before the show. Vh1 should still show it, and put a thing at the end of each show. Not about Ryan, but about Jasmine. On a Double Shot of Love one of the contestants died before the show aired and they still showed that.
I think MWAM/VH1 should bow out gracefully and show respect to all those involved. To continue with the show just condones the level of violence we all have to live with this world.
to matt:
you obviously don’t understand what abuse is. ryan jenkins’ history demonstrates a history of physically abusive behavior in previous relationships. that is not something that can be blamed on the victim. also, blaming someone for their own murder is shameful.
i feel sorry for the guy in that obviously his soul was tortured, and i hope that he is able to find peace and rest now. my heart goes out to both families as they are not to blame for what happened, and while the fiore family has lost someone they loved dearly to a heinous crime, i can only imagine that ryan’s family is struggling more, as they have to deal with the knowledge of what their son did, AND for the fact that his life was cut short as well.
none of us know either of them personally, but don’t blame someone for their own demise regardless of what you may or may not speculate to have happened.
i’ve been in an abusive relationship before, and what i had to endure was NOT my fault. in fact, i became very reserved and quiet as a result of the abuse, in an effort to not say or do anything that might upset him. i can also ((@$^#`+%`^(`#( ure you that abuse is the fault of the abuser. it is a PROBLEM that the abuser has, whether behavioral, mental, emotional, or substance usage related. regardless it is something within the abuser and not something that the victim does.
so, matt, i recommend, given your stance on it all, that you spend a day in a shelter for abused women, and listen to their stories about what transpired. i highly doubt that you would walk out of there blaming any of them for what they had to endure.

Put Megan back on so we can see how ryan goes off the show,also who won on Megan.
He will always be known as the VH1 killer. shame on you!
Matt Hagen, how is murdering your wife, stuffing her into a suitcase after cutting off her fingers and pulling her teeth out, then fleeing to another country to eventually just hang himself NOT his fault?
And other people, What would the family have to sue over? This is an individual committing an act off camera, in his own time.
HE KILLED HIS SELF BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE DID IT AND DIDN’T WANNA GO THROUGH ALL THE B.S. ! Y’ALL SHOULD CHECK PEOPLES BACKGROUND B4 YOU JUST LET PEOPLE COME ON T.V. U KNOW !
How can you say that she provoked him to murder her Matt … you must be high! No one deserves to be murdered!!
How can you say that she forced him into doing something he didn’t want to do …. She deserved to be murdered? No one has the right to take someone elses life … Matt you are nuts!!
Dumb shows need dumbs “actors” , money loving producers, dumbs spectators etc… Helas dumb people get killed… also!The only silver lining is the postponement (forever hopefully) of yet another dumb production for the masses. What will you find next to sell to dumbs Americans* what they don’t need with the money they don’t have (When an American earns $1000, he’ll spend $2000…When a Chinese earns $1000, he’ll spend $200 & lend $800 to Americans ! How long can it last before the USA belongs the China ?) * or dumbs Canadians, dumbs Germans etc…
I have no pity for Ryan Jenkins. He brutally murdered his wife and then desecrated her body in an effort to avoid being caught….and when backed into a corner, he took the easy way out. What a piece of trash. I hope VH1 decides against airing the remainder of “Megan Wants a Millionaire”….what a painful reminder to friends and family of the victim.
Please do not use my real name.
Vanessa: I think you are the only one who has a handle on what we should really be sorry about; that two people lost their lives. However, I do not know that his background shows a history of abuse. I know he was placed on probation; but do not know exactly for what.
Uhhh Matt, you’re just as crazy as that guy. Someone should keep an eye on you. Scary.
I think its really stupid they would cancel the show. They act like murders have never been on television before.
omg you people are dumb. 2 people died and you all keep acting like the real tragedy is taking the show off the air. idiots.
This is so crazy.
I think the right thing to do in this situation would be for VH1 to release this series on DVD only. Even though I watch the show and would like to see the ending, I think it might be painful for the families involved in this tragedy to have to see the show continue to air. The best thing would be a DVD so only those who want to see it can. And to maybe include a note, or a statement of some kind from VH1, Megan and maybe even the other contestants.Or maybe even donate profits to the Fiore family?
Just a thought. I hope VH1 does the right thing.
I feel sorry for both families. Its sad he had to do what he did.
I do have to say a big haha to Megan! I’m glad VH1 pulled her show. I don’t think the numbers where there. Her pushy stuck up attitude made the show dry and boring. I have a feeling Ryan went pretty far in the competition. Someone commented about Double Shot of Love had someone that died before the competition … the issue/difference here that I see …is that he probably made it pretty far in this and out of respect they pulled the plug. Let me say this tho…Karma is a b-ch Megan! Treat others how you want to be treated…you cannot go through life treating others like you do …
I KNOW THAT THIS IS A TRAGIC SITUATION FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. HE TOOK THE COWARDS WAY OUT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE VH1. BUT THE MEGAN SHOW BACK SO EVERYONE CAN SEE WHO SEE PICKED. I’M SORRY FRO THE FAMLIES. NO-ONE NEEDED TO DIE.
I know this is a tragic situation for everyone involved. He took the cowards way out. But I would like to see Vh1. Put the Megan show back on the air so we can see who she picked
Megan may get her millionaire after all. Herself…when she sues the network!!!!
Are you serious?
You feel bad for this guy?
He was a monster! He cut up a woman into pieces and then killed himself. No one can force someone to do this brutal of a crime–and no woman or human deserves it. It was his fault, and he obviously knew it was.
this in itself is trully a tradgedy but what is more tradgic is that noone leaves these people alone when something happens in the media we a people prey on it like vultures and we forget that they are people too the diffence is that they are on camera and may be rich what ever happened top respecting people and their privacy let them deal noone but ryan and jasmine and GOD really know what happened so stop judging and start praying and being a better person. i feel for the friends and family of both of these people and my hearts go out with them and may they rest in peace.
The whole story is sad. What would drive someone to piss away everything and all the money? Now she is dead and he is dead. Why? That is a sad sad story. Could they have not broken up and he could have went over seas and just got over it?
What does the Vh1 vetting process have to do with the fact that he allegedly killed this woman? If Vh1 had found out that he had a criminal background, would that have stopped him from meeting and hurting other people that he met in the future? The two met after the show was taped, before the show was aired on national TV, so in what way do justify finding fault with Vh1 and 51 minds? Neither of the two companies play a part in the two meeting each other and getting married. Why are so many people trying to blame Vh1 and 51 Minds for something they clearly had nothing to do with?
All I have to say is give Megan a new show!!! This was my favorite show of all your reality series and I will definitely watch again. I understand why the original episodes are not being aired…that would be extremely disrespectful to Jasmine’s family and you guys requesting that should think about them. Like they want to see her murderer paraded about TV like nothing happened. Just find some new “millionaires” for Megan so we can watch again! And new cast members for ILM 3!!
Oh and I think 12 Pack/Dave is ready for his own show! I’d watch.
y did they have 2 cancel megan wants a millonaire they better show i love money 3
A agree; release the shows on the web. The victims won’t have to worry about seeing them on TV and those of us that want to watch them can seek them out.
I hated the “Megan Wants A Millionaire” show. Megan does not have the “star quality” that’s worthy of a TV show. It was a bad idea that should have been filed into the circular file cabinet. I was hoping the show would be canceled but not under these circumstances. I think the quality of VH1 reality shows has declined as they add more of them to the programming schedule. How else would a guy like Ryan Jenkins get on a TV show if basic precautions were followed? The premise of the show just didn’t hold water if you don’t have the right casting. I feel for the victim and her family.
Its sad to hear that this piece of S#!* wont pay for what he did to his wife, he deserved much more than just to hang himself. As for the show MWAM im glad Vh1 decided to pull the show because its only out of respect for the family of jasmine. I believe it would only hurt them more if this d0^#&*# bag gained fame while their daughter was murdered by him. As for ilm3 i only ~@_#($$&~!%_@@( ume he was on it????
I’d still like to know who won the show, if Vh1 could just post the winner that would be gr8.
My condolences to the Fiore family
<3
Please, for the sake of decency, don’t air the shows. Re-cast them, re-shoot them, whatever, but don’t air these shows.
canceled!! all of it! go away
YOU ARE AN IDIOT MATT HAGEN!! You damn liberals think that its someone elses fault when something like this happens. How dare you blame her for her own murder? are you really that ignorant?!?! It is horrible what happened to her and you need to keep your opinion to yourself cause your f’ing stupid!! (shaking me head in disbelief)
megan should sell the show
first off i wanna know what megan is thinking and feeling right now this really freaked me out. i was rooting forr the guy i will never forget him sitting on the couch with megan saying “let’s just say you won’t have to sign a pre-nump” it gives me chills was he trying to say don’t worry you wont live long enough to need one? i also remember in a confessional he says he loves the chase and challenge of beautiful women creepy makes me think that this guy has always been a serial killer who unexpectly got caught because of his newfound celebrity!! vh1 if you’re listening at least put the remainder of the show and ILM#3 on the website so that we loyal viewers atleast have the option of watching the rest of the season it can only help the website and i’m ready for that megan exclusive “it could’ve been me”
why did they cancel i love money 3?
why did they cancel i love money 3??
why did they cancel i love money 3????
Case closed. He is gone now, why do we have to suffer by not getting to watch our shows???
Case closed. Sad, but…. He is gone now, why do we have to suffer by not getting to watch our shows???
that is really sad, but besides that know one knows what really happen? so quit talking (##`!)@%)))_##_~ about a guy you never even got to know. I saw a video on CNN with his “wife” in Mexico with her ex-boyfriend while Ryan was filming I love money3. all I’m saying is we don’t know what was really going she was not in Angel so everyone shut up!
I believe he killed his beautiful wife & I also believed dat he killed himself just 2 avoid spendin’ da rest of his life n jail on charges of 1st degree murder. My thoughs & prayers go out 2 his family & friends as well as da family & friends of da wife. Hope Megan is safe & sound.
that is really sad, but besides that know one knows what really happen? so quit talking *%&*^@`&*!*(#%*^ about a guy you never even got to know.

so can VH1 atleast annouce who won the damn thing! i hope it was Al the nervous guy!. any how sad circumstances but atleast release who won!!!
All I got to say is this is stupid why canceld 2 shows that have nothing to do with what happen. Yes true he was on both but come on is not VH1′s falt for him being a crazy dude nor is it the public that watch the shows. There is NOTHING you can do VH1 So stop with the bull cause I want to see I love Money 3. Yes is sad but it isn’t our falt nor the networks of what happen is not like by canceling the show your gonna bring both back.
If they canceld every show for what crazy people do we wouldn’t have anything to what on tv!! Am real upset about this =(
I thought that Ryan was cute when he shaved his beard…..Gosh just goes to show you that you never know who thaa crazy lunatics are….
