If she commited suicide ? 

 Given no autopsy has yet been carried out yet, how can they possible make such claims, that she died of apparent suicide and 'handwritten suicide notes' were found near the body. Regarding 'reliable sources', I thought Wikipedia wanted facts and not opinion. So please report on the death of Palfrey and say this, Tarpon Springs Police report finding the body of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, Police sources also state that she hanged herself and notes found near the body were suicide notes left by the deceased. See, simple, isn't that's the sum totality of what happened.
