The prominent Calgary architect told the Las Angeles Times that if his son Ryan Jenkins was guilty in the gruesome death of Jasmine Fiore, the young man was “crazy” and corrupted by fame.

Dan Jenkins said his son would “would faint at the sight of blood.”

“He was not the boy we knew. The boy we knew was not capable of anything remotely close to this act,” Jenkins told the newspaper. “You talk to everyone here who knew him before he went down there and they’ll talk about a wonderful young man, a thoughtful man.”

The father said Ryan Jenkins had fallen into the wrong crowd in LA.

Not sure what kind of celebrity ‘crowd’ endorses strangulation and dismemberment, but this guy is a parent.

He must be going through hell.

Ryan Jenkins was found hung in a motel room 90 minutes east of Vancouver Sunday, Aug. 23. Authorities suspect suicide.

The millionaire real estate developer was wanted for the murder of Fiore, his ex-wife.

Authorities say he strangled Fiore and mutilating her body, removing her fingers and teeth.

The 28-year-old former swimsuit model was identified by serial numbers in her breast implants.
