The body of Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found in a shed near her mother's mobile home Thursday morning in outside of Tampa, Fla. according to police.

Authorities say they also found a suicide note, but declined to reveal its contents or how she killed herself.

Palfrey was recently convicted on federal charges stemming from operating a prostitution service in the Washington, D.C. area with a number of high-profile clients. She was scheduled to be sentenced July 24.

Deborah's suicide is actually shocking. The woman seemed to be a brick wall.

When a former employee of Palfrey's, Brandy Britton, hanged herself before going to trial, Palfrey told the press, "I guess I'm made of something that Brandy Britton wasn't made of."

She was 52 years old.
