CNN) -- Deborah Jeane Palfrey, known as the "D.C. Madam," was found dead in Florida Thursday, according to Tarpon Springs police.
Deborah Jeane Palfrey was convicted of running a high-powered prostitution ring.
Palfrey, 52, hanged herself, police said in a news release.
The body was found by her mother, at whose home Palfrey had been staying, police said.
Suicide notes were found near the body in a small storage shed next to a mobile home, police said.
The Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death, police said. Watch reaction from CNN producer Paul Courson »
The county sheriff's office and the FBI are participating in the investigation.
"I am devastated to hear about this," Palfrey lawyer Montgomery Blair Sibley said. "If it turns out to be true it is a tragic loss of life."
Palfrey was convicted last month in connection with a high-end prostitution ring catering to Washington's elite.
Jury finds 'D.C. Madam' guilty
She was found guilty April 15 of money laundering, racketeering and mail fraud and faced a maximum 55-year prison term at her sentencing, which was scheduled for July 24.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Washington, which prosecuted Palfrey, declined to comment.
Prosecutors estimated she would have received a sentence between 57-71 months, about six years, because of sentencing guidelines and other factors that would have been taken into account.
At least one lawmaker, Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, a Republican, turned up in the phone records of her business, Pamela Martin & Associates.

If it was not her doing it , some other pimp would have. She was said to treat her girls really good with decent money cuts ,travel and protection arrangments.
Every city has hookers , every city has clients that pay them. I do not see why it is even illegal for. Might as well make it legal and tax the girls and regulate it. I am not saying every small town needs a bunny ranch or some shit. But every big metro could have a redlight area and high end girls that do house calls.

Then make that shit legal if it's so legit.
Let guys like me and corporations compete with her, and have hot foreign chicks come to your door for $35/hour. You don't think guys like me would LOVE to profit from prostitution?
She just took advantage of the fact that something's ILLEGAL, and tried to PROFIT off of it, by keeping a low profile. No different than a neigborhood drug dealer. Or a guy who sells fake dl's or green cards.
Plus keeping taxes to herself while the rest of us PAY? And then blackmail people on top of it? Fuck that. Glad she bit the big one.
You try hiding your taxes, and see if people treat you like a hero, or Wesley Snipes (lol).
