WASHINGTON Police in Tarpon Springs, Fla., said there was "no question" that Deborah Jeane Palfrey committed suicide by hanging Thursday, but that was not enough to stop immediate speculation that the infamous "D.C. Madam" was the victim of murder.
Hustler magazine publisher and free-speech advocate Larry Flynt -- one of Palfrey's staunchest advocates -- was the strongest voice forwarding the notion that Palfrey's death was not by her own hands.
"I think the media should be very cautious in treating this as a suicide," Flynt told FOXNews.com in a telephone interview from his Beverly Hills office.
Asked if he believed Palfrey was murdered, Flynt responded: "I personally believe that's what happened, but I have no proof."

"Let me put it this way, there were more Democrats on it than Republicans," he said, supporting his theory that the only reason this case was of interest was because of the number of Democrats who could be targeted by the Bush administration.

Suicide? First thing I thought was “yeah right”.Add another to the list.
I love it ... the only reason it's interesting to Flynt that there are more Democrats than Republicans on the list is not that the Democrats are depraved sex addicts ... there's no such thing in Larry's world. Larry's just indulging in unfounded paranoid fantasies that the president wants to selectively investigate the Democrats on the list.
I was going to post a nasty comment, but I think I'll just pray for this twisted little man instead.
This sucks.
Too bad she didn't have accumulation of high hours of range time.
You will also note that a witness who was a former University professor turned prostitute, had also comitted "suicide."
I'd like to see Brenda Johnson on the case...
I happen to have an advanced social science degree and have studied suicide a lot. Emile Durkheim wrote the defining social study on the topic. Prostitutes generally do not hang themselves, they OD.
But then , maybe I should simply acquiesce to your boorishness and simply admit I am a long time John? You in a microcosm illustrate why it is impossible for civilized people to attempt to discuss such a topic. There is always the sly innuendo, the muted knowing grin.
But if you love freedom, you deplore the murder and silencing of this woman.
I am sick of thugs in politics committing murder and getting away with it.
Fascism by any other name?
Brandy Britton was also found hanged in her home.
Coincidence?

Hanging is one of THE most unusual ways for a female to comitt suicide.
Hillary clinton, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
need to wait 5 more hours
I think not.
Karl Rove ordered the Blackwater hit squad after her because she discovered where the Katrina Hurricane machine was located. **eyes roll***
Uh, Tarpon Springs is about four hours from Miami....
While I don't have the background you do, I found this very fishy, too. My other thought is that you rarely hear women commit suicide over losing their honor the way you would a man. I know I will take heat on this, but in my experience in the professional world, despite the reputation women usually have for being emotional, men are a lot more sensitive about their ego and their position. I have to handle way more men with kid gloves than women. Again, I don't have access to numbers, but it seems a very un-female thing to do...especially one who had called out another female for (allegedly) committing suicide.
She told people that she would never go back to prison. Some who knew here were apparently not surprised by this. Anybody here know her?
You're asking if anyone here was her client? Let's wait and see who responds.
Cat, men outsuicide women by 2 to 1, and something like 5 to 1 among the elderly, cat!
No, but I did have a brief e-mail exchange with her when her phone records were being publicized last year. I told her I'd pray for her.
I concur.
This was likely a professionally done hit with suicide notes written under duress or obtained via trickery.
Such talent travels the world my friend, 4 hours is a spigot commute.
