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.

"Where was Cheney?"
I shot him back a response and told him to take my name off his list.
I had already told him I didn't want any more Ron Paul propaganda, and this just hit me wrong.
I was a tad ugly in my response, but I think he got the message.
This stinks to high heaven, has all the earmarks of a hit, and we'll probably never know the whole story.
Prayers to her Mom and any other family she has.
LOL!!!!!!
It was a hermit named Dave.
I think that the majority of suicides, especially hangings, are especially cognizant of the display they will make, the circumstances under which they will be found and by whom...and none of that fits in this instance, unless she and her mom were in some type of conflict that has yet been unreported.
Also I keep hearing police found two suicide notes? The pop and the dance version? A rough copy and a final draft? If it really is a suicide, I suppose there would have been two addressees...Mom and who else?
To be fair, I’ve never shot myself in the head as a result of being a crony of a demonically-possessed rapist and his wife, so I’m really not sure, despite being left-handed, which hand I would hold the gun in. But I am pretty sure that, whichever hand it was, it would have powder residue on it.
Folks, remember the Baton Rouge Madame?
snip…..
“Landry was convicted on all counts and sentenced to six years in federal prison. She pleaded no contest to the state charges and was sent to serve her sentence in Texas. However, she escaped as soon as she arrived at the federal pen in Bryan, Texas. Three days later, Landry was apprehended less than three miles from the prison.
“Whilst waiting for the transfer of Landry to a maximum security facility in Kansas, authorities found the Baton Rouge Madame dead in her jail cell, hanging from a homemade noose fashioned out of a bed sheet and attached to the smoke detector fixture in her cell.
“Landry’s death was officially ruled a suicide, but around Baton Rouge, many people thought she had been murdered at the behest of some of her more powerful clients. As none of her employees or her clients were ever prosecuted, many Baton Rouge residents still claim that Sylvia Landry was the only victim in an otherwise victimless crime.”
Women do not hang themselves if they want to commit suicide.
It is other people who hang them and say it was “suicide.”
I was not born at midnight.
Ref post #33.
I agree with you.
the whole thing is weird...also, how is spitzer getting off so easy and this woman got 50 years?
Geraldo said tonight that this needs to be investigated, and Jeanine Piro is now also suspicious.
Yes, precisely. Why should a business that is legal in Nevada carry a sentence of 55 years in DC? That's government intervention with a vengeance.
I guess you missed the point of my post. She should never have been open to punishment to begin with.
“Geraldo said tonight that this needs to be investigated, and Jeanine Piro is now also suspicious.”
Unfortunately I missed it. The problem is I like and admire Jeanine, but I can’t tolerate Geraldo. I didn’t know she was going to on his show, or I would not have been so quick with the “off” button.
I posted this on another thread on 2 May. You may be interested in it:

Looks like there’s a hanging epidemic in the prostitution industry...
