D.C. Madam: Deborah Palfrey

Convicted D.C. Madam Deborah Jean Palfrey has committed suicide and taken her life. Her body was found in Tarpon Spings, Florida, inside of her mother’s home. . A suicide note was found with Palfrey’s intention to take her life.

“It was her, and she’s deceased,” Frank Ruggiero, a public information officer with the Tarpon Springs Police Department, told FOXNews.com. “There’s no question that it was a suicide.”

Palfrey apparently hanged herself with a nylon rope that she wrapped around a metal beam in a shed on the property, according to police. Suicide notes were found inside the mobile home, but their contents were not disclosed.

Authorities said her 76-year-old mother, Blanche Palfrey, positively identified the dead woman as her daughter.

A reporter for Time magazine is claiming that Palfrey told him she would commit suicide before going to prison

“She wasn’t going to jail, she told me that very clearly. She told me she would commit suicide,” author Dan Moldea told TIME soon after news broke of her body being found in Tarpon Springs, Florida, an apparent suicide.

Deborah had stated boldly that she was stronger than one of her employees who committed suicide before going to trial.

Palfrey told the press, “I guess I’m made of something that Brandy Britton wasn’t made of.”

Palfrey was found guilty last month of money laundering, racketeering, and using the mail for illegal purposes.
