Arnis Zalkalns was last seen on 3 September - a week after Alice Gross disappeared
The corpse of Mr Zalkalns was discovered in an area of dense woodland in Boston Manor Park, west London.
It was found on Saturday afternoon, about a 20 minute walk away from where Alice's body was found.
Alice, from Hanwell in west London, disappeared on 28 August.
Her body was found in the River Brent on 30 September and police said significant efforts had been made to conceal it.
Mr Zalkalns was filmed on CCTV cycling along the same route just minutes behind the schoolgirl on the day she disappeared.
He had served seven years in prison in his native country for bludgeoning and stabbing his wife Rudite to death before moving to the UK in 2007.
The search to find Alice involved police officers from several forces
