Wow: Florida Man Commits Suicide Over Obama Re-Election, Wrote ‘F**k Obama’ In Will

Florida Man Commits Suicide Over Obama Re-Election, Wrote ‘F**k Obama’ In Will
by Andrew Kirell | 11:18 am, November 14th, 2012

He warned his partner weeks ago: “If Barack gets re-elected, I’m not going to be around.” And he followed through on that declaration.

Henry Hamilton, a 64-year-old owner of Tropical Tan in Key West, Fl., was found dead shortly after Election Day, with the words “Fuck Obama!” written on his will and two empty prescription bottles near his body.

The Miami Herald reports that the man’s partner Michael Cossey told the Key West police that Hamilton was “very upset about the election results.”



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.

Key West must have changed since I lived there. You didn't use to find many conservatives who owned businesses on Duval Street in Key West.

time they had spoken was election night?

pretty convenient way to off your partner, and blame it on obama's re-election. (my mind is evil)

I figured it was the same sort of scenario. The voting was such a big deal that people go to extremes.

At least he just offed himself, but I fear that something really bad could happen because the GOPTP are just competely batshit insane; they'e fucking crazy.

. . . .

A copy of the man's living will was found on his bathroom sink, the Key West Citizen reports. The will contained handwriting that read, "Do not revive! F*** Obama!"
