DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey commits suicide

I suspicious of suicide too. I did read an article where she said she would rather die than go back to jail (apparently she spent some time in the 90's for prostitution). I doubt we'll ever know the truth...

It just sucks that she would do this knowing her 76 year old Mom would find her. Suicide is so selfish!

Check out the link to the Washington Post I left on the first page. They were both "sleepy" immediately after waking up. That sounds fishy to me. Something like carbon monoxide could have been introduced into their home to get mom out of the way and to incapacitate Deborah.

How funny that no politician on her list was arrested and charged with prostitution, yet she was facing 55 years.

Actually, it isn't that easy to asphyxiate someone with carbon monoxide.....tv shows folks getting in their cars and starting them up.....lot more complicated than that....plus, the carbon monoxide would still show up in the autopsy....

....not much different than drug dealers getting the big sentences and the users getting smaller ones.....
