Associated Press

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. - A woman convicted two weeks ago of being the "D.C. Madam" hanged herself Thursday, apparently making good on her vow never to go to prison for running a high-end Washington prostitution ring.

The body of Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found in a shed near her mother's home about 20 miles northwest of Tampa. Police said the 52-year-old Palfrey left at least two suicide notes and other writings to her family in a notebook, but they did not disclose their contents.

Palfrey apparently hanged herself with nylon rope from the shed's ceiling. Her mother discovered the body.

Officers were outside the mother's white and pink home in the community of mostly retirees.

Blanche Palfrey had no sign that her daughter was suicidal, and there was no immediate indication that alcohol or drugs were involved, police Capt. Jeffrey Young said.

2. That headline should read, "DC Madam found dead"
They are speculating that she killed herself. Again the media tells us the story they want us to hear.

4. I've noticed that too..
they are reporting "suicide" in a case closed type style. Sorry, I've got my :tinfoilhat: on tight for this one.

3. Women don't hang themselves.
Well, not as a rule.

Women statistically prefer gentle methods of dying - sleeping pills, gas suffocation and the like.

They avoid guns and other violent suicide methods.
