39. I don't believe it for a second! She killed herself before she revealed the names of the rich and powerful in Washington who were amongst her clientele? How convenient. I suppose the list is nowhere to be found and will be deemed 'there never was one? I think they silenced her (whoever they are). And the FBI is all over the case helping with the investigation into her suicide? Yeah Right! Just covering their bases I bet.

41. "Suicide". Yeah... how convenient for all those politicians and other assorted bigwigs that were listed in her "little black book". Gee... I guess she won't be embarrassing any rich powerful people now that she's commited "suicide". After the last guy who resigned over his hooker, no one else is going to risk their career. Call me a conspiracy nut but... I don't buy for one moment that she killed herself.

42. " And, it was NOT HER FAULT. She was just giving (I mean selling) the men what they wanted. I feel sorry for her. Why aren't the men held more responsible in these situations. It never has been and I am sure it never will be.Posted at 2:09PM on May 1st 2008 by Sunny Bear."

Well, Sunny Bear - she was breaking the law. It was her fault for getting into an illegal business. Drug dealers get jail time when they are caught but their users run free. What's the diff?

43. She knew too many people in sensitive positions of government. I find it hard to believe it was suicide. Maybe it was made to LOOK like suicide by someone who didn't want her talking.

44. I just have to comment, again, on your language use. "Died after committing suicide"? Isn't that kind of redundant? Did she miraculously live after committing suicide only to die after?
