UPDATE: Fox News has confirmed from Tarpon Springs Police in Florida
that Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the woman known as the "DC Madam," has
committed suicide.
Contrary to the TIME report, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the DC Madam who
reportedly committed suicide today, apparently warned that she would
be "suicided" — murdered but made to look like a suicide — both as far
back as 1991 and more recently. Prison Planet's Paul Joseph Watson
reports that the DC Madam feared for her life:
"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very
life would be jeopardized," she wrote in August 1991 following an
attempt to bring her to trial, "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement
and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another
jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a
handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice
squad of having a vendetta against her.
