Now that my beautiful fancy male guppy is dead, my male platy is the king of all the female guppies and is chasing them everywhere? Is this normal? I know male guppies do this but platies?

Sorry to hear about your Guppy. The male will chase them, and try to mate with them, but he'll fail. Platys can only cross breed with Swordtails. If you want him to stop just get another male guppy.

yeah but even when the male guppy was present the platy chased them around.. just even more now. Would getting female platies leave them alone?

it would probably help, what size tank do you have and how many fish?

I got female platies and now the platy leaves my female guppies alone so all is good :]
