It's official: 'D.C. Madam's' death a suicide
ARPON SPRINGS -- Last week's death of 52-year-old Deborah Jean Palfrey -- the woman known as the 'D.C. Madam' -- has been ruled a suicide by the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiners Office, police said today.

Police said they had no reason to believe that Palfrey's death on Thursday was anything but a suicide. Palfrey's body was discovered hanging in a shed beside the home of her mother, Blanche Palfrey, in the Sun Valley Estates mobile home park on U.S. 19.

In suicide notes released by police this morning, Palfrey told her family she regretted leaving them to deal with her death, but was unable to face prison and saw no other way out. She also left a short note saying she was not to be revived or, if found alive, fed under any circumstances.

"I sincerely apologize for any pain which I have caused you in this lifetime," Palfrey wrote to her mother (PDF link) in a note dated April 25. "Additionally, I can't sufficiently express to you how badly I feel for this burden I am leaving you with here."

So there we have it. Case closed. Nothing else to see here.

3. Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown.
No one believes she committed suicide. But, at the same time, few seem to care.

She didn't mean to, but she caught a tiger by the tail. Same with 1 million+ Iraqis.

4. I didn't expect anything else coming out
of the official explanation. However when the 'suicide' of the Head Procurement Officer
for the US Air Force happened, the autopsy took 3 weeks and was never released.

I hope that someone like Dr. Henry C. Lee will be able to look at the body before it is buried.

9. Nice little "condition" that was in her note.
"She also left a short note saying she was not to be revived or, if found alive, fed under any circumstances."

Those that did this to her wanted her dead. And if they didn't kill her by their own hands, they wanted to make sure she died due to her own "wishes."

Please. I'm putting on a big tinfoil hat here, but there is no way I will ever believe this woman killed herself. She committed suicide just like Ken Lay died of a heart attack.

12. These guys are so freaking brazen
No one believes this was a suicide, but they just don't give a damn because no one will hold them accountable.
