TARPON SPRINGS - Police were called to the home of DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey's mother on Thursday to investigate her apparent suicide.
Police have confirmed that the dead person is Palfrey who was 52.
Palfrey was dubbed "The DC Madam" by the national media after her arrest for allegedly running an upscale call girl ring in the nation's capitol.

Oh its fun to think about, but to be honest I doubt it wasn’t a suicide.
A bottle of ether and a couple of cinder blocks is a whole lot safer than a forensic team with a fine tooth comb if someone did it.
If it was a professional suicide I would think a Hoffa type outcome would be better. I mean people would think she is a flight risk anyway, she disappears it is just assumed she is in Mexico and there is no investigation.
Move along, no criminal mischief here.
I'd look in the "confidental papers" section of the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library.
Or from the movie “Mystery Men;”
“She fell down an elevator shaft...onto some bullets...”
I believe that NatLamp story refered to Salvador Allende, correct? (Yes, I’m that old)

DEVELOPING STORY: Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the 52-year-old woman known as the “D.C. Madam,” committed suicide Thursday morning at her mother’s home in a trailer park in the Tampa area, Tarpon Springs Police told FOXNews.com.
“It was her, and she’s deceased,” said Frank Ruggiero, a public information officer with the Tarpon Springs Police Department. “There’s no question that it was a suicide.”
Palfrey was found guilty on April 15 by a D.C. jury on charges of racketeering and money laundering related to her operating a prostitution ring.
She had threatened to reveal the names of her clients — many believed to be high-profile political and business figures — if prosecutors went forward with their case.
Ruggiero said police arrived at the scene at 10:52 a.m. Thursday and Palfrey was pronounced dead a short while later. He declined to say how she killed herself or offer other details.
Palfrey was reportedly staying at the mobile home of her mother Blanche, police said.
A statement releasd earlier by Tarpon Springs Police said the victim was found in a small storage shed located on the west side of the mobile home.
Handwritten notes were found on scene that describe the victim’s intention to take her life, and foul play does not appear to be involved,” said Capt. Jeffrey P. Young in a press release.
Pinellas County Medical Examiners will determine the official cause of death, and are working with the FBI on the case.

Anybody have a picture of Bill washing his hands?
DC Madam to living in a trailer park in Florida with her Mom “Blanche”. Haven’t heard that name in a long time.
Sounds like the beginning of a novel to me.
Gee, I wonder what FOSTERed this ‘cide?
BJ????
How about Hittlery?
Wow! That was fast.
Wow! That was fast.
By that logic we shouldn’t find any bodies from professional hits or “suicides”, but there’s plenty.
Those usually aren’t done by people who can afford to never be found out either.
This isn’t a drug hit or insurance claim murder, if they were going to hire someone it would be a professional, and they would just disappear.
Sounds like it was an “assisted suicide” and not the Kevorkian kind.
Sounds kind of like New Orleans, except the kid would offer to do it for the right price.
After he asked you where you got them shoes.
Yeah, but there was a suicide note, “Life sucks I think I’ll kill myself, signed the Dead Guy” - “Analyze This”
