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.

maybe because she might of had something more on someone?
>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?<
I couldn’t agree with you more.
I don’t believe for a minute she really hanged herself.
We’ll know for sure when people close to the investigation start dropping as well.
Vince Foster was left-handed, as I recall.
Most everything points to suicide. The real crime here is that this woman was targeted by the government for providing consensual adult entertainment to willing men for money, leading to her financial devastation and loss of freedom, which then culminated in her suicide. What happened to Palfrey was horribly evil, but she probably was not assassinated.
Only problem with your thesis is that the woman in question was not herself a prostitute. That is to say that she did not exchange sexual favors for money.
Totally agree with you -
First thing I said when saw this news - this is not a surprise seeing that there is another Clinton running for the White House......
The first (or second) of many “suspicious” deaths which we will see if we move into another Clintonista era......
Absolutely no question this woman was murdered. She should have prepared for such an event by shipping a videotape to a trusted person who would play it for the public should anything ever happen to her.
The other person who “committed suicide” was very likely one of the Dem’s dames...and would not surprise me to have been a friend of Bubba’s but who knows????
First - these women are idiots to get involved with politiians now that we are in the age of murder as suicide....and have been since 1992. *federal government-wise...before that - Arkansas for a previous 12 years).
For any media person to accept this woman’s death as a suicide and not want it investigated as a murder - proves they are NOT journalists - but politicians pretending to be reporters.
” “...more Democrats than Republicans..”. That figures; Democrats are always screwing people. “
True, I’m just surprised because they usually make US pay for the privilege of being screwed. I expect they did use our money, though.
Beats me. But nobody holds a firarm like that, unless perhaps they have no idea what it is.
Quite the leap of conclusions. I didn’t mean any offense to you, I just found it funny how you worded it, got a twisted sense of humor I guess.
This particular incident is just more proof that the political class in this country is nothing more than a very successful criminal enterprise.
my first thoughts that this was a suicide....but hey, the got the one Republican so she was expendable...
Larry Flynt is not party orientated in the sex scandel biz aye?
I thought he was all about exposing sex scapades of Conservative Repubs.
Guess not. Esp when Murder may be involved.
Same-o, same-o generation after generation:
There is no native criminal class except Congress
~~ Mark Twain
I can't believe, with that common knowledge, that the investigators don't suspect fowl play. Something smells.
Burnt chicken?
San Diego contractor pleads guilty over illegal contributions( Kerry-MA )

SAN DIEGO (AP) - A San Diego-based defense contractor pleaded guilty Wednesday to making donations to politicians he believed would help him win contracts, including Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and U.S. congressmen Duncan Hunter and Randy “Duke” Cunningham.
Parthasarathi Majumder, the former president and chief executive of Science and Applied Technology Inc., made the contributions between 1993 to 1998 and also encouraged his friends and colleagues to do so, according to the U.S. Attorney General’s Office.
Majumder then reimbursed those donors more than $20,000, according to the plea agreement.
U.S. election laws limit individual contributions to $1,000 to a candidate seeking federal office per campaign period. The law also prohibits corporations from giving money to candidates or using others to donate by proxy.
The various campaigns unwittingly filed false reports with the Federal Elections Commission due to Majumder’s use of proxy donors.
Donations were made to Kerry, who is now the Democratic presidential front-runner; San Diego County Republicans Hunter and Cunningham; Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.; and Rep. Joe Scarborough, R-Fla.
None of the lawmakers or their staff was charged with any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors also said Majumder used money received under federal contracts to lobby for congressional support for the Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile program being developed by his company.
Wednesday’s plea follows a Dec. 18 civil settlement in which Majumder agreed to pay the government about $3 million for submitting false claims under a government contract.
Majumder, a U.S. citizen born in India, faces a maximum penalty of five years and $250,000 in fines on charges of defrauding the government and one year and $25,000 in fines for making illegal campaign contributions.
So Flynt is saying she was done in by a Dem?
