TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. -- Police say DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey
has committed suicide in Florida.

Police were called to the home of Palfrey's mother on Thursday to
investigate the suicide.

Palfrey was dubbed "The DC Madam" by the national media after her
arrest for allegedly running an upscale call girl ring in the nation's
capitol.

She was convicted on Tuesday of money laundering, using the mail for
illegal purposes and racketeering, but she had not yet been sentenced.

There has been much speculation in the media about who was on
Palfrey's client list, but few details came out during the trial.

Randall L. Tobias resigned as a deputy secretary of state after
acknowledging to ABC News that he used Palfrey's service for massages.
