KEY WEST
Death of Key West man linked to Obama's reelection

A Key West man who told his partner that "if Barack gets re-elected, I'm not going to be around" was found dead on Nov. 8, with the words "F--- Obama!" scrawled on his will and two empty prescription bottles nearby.
Henry Hamilton, 64, owner of Tropical Tan off Duval Street, was "very upset about the election results," his partner Michael Cossey told Police Officer Anna Dykes.
Police spokeswoman Alyson Crean said a cause of death is awaiting autopsy results from the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office but said, "There's absolutely no evidence of foul play."
According to Dykes' report, Cossey returned to the South Roosevelt Boulevard condo he shared with Hamilton after a late night of playing cards with friends and fell asleep on the couch around 6 a.m.
A friend of Hamilton had been worried about him and had a standing request to police to make welfare checks. Officer Pablo Rodriguez did just that and when he went to the condo, he woke up Cossey, prompting the discovery of Hamilton's body in the bedroom.
Dykes reported finding two empty prescription bottles, one for Xanax and one for Seroquel, used to treat anxiety and schizophrenia, respectively.
Cossey told police Hamilton "has been very stressed about his business," and the last time they had spoken was "when we watched the election results" on Nov. 6.
President Obama, a Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney to win a second four-year term.
I was kind of hoping Romney won so everyone who threatened to leave the country would put up or shut up, but hey, this will do

I'm sure there's others who did the same thing. Just didn't get the news coverage he got.
I find it astounding the level of seriousness some people treat elections with. If you really cant stand it, you have options aside from killing yourself. That's what really boggles the mind here.
Also, he had to have been the stupidest muthafucka alive. Seems like one of those guys who went to the bar after the election, got shit faced drunk, came home to beat his wife while calling her a "n-word lover" and pretty much drank his life away before finally ending it.
World is better off without people like him. And in the end, he changed nothing.
