A former tanning salon owner who told his partner he was “not going to be around” if President Barack Obama won a second term was found dead two days after the election.
The body of Henry Hamilton was discovered in his condo on November 8th with the words “F**k Obama!” written over his will and two empty prescription bottles nearby, according to the Miami Herald.
The 64-year-old Florida man was “very upset about the election results,” his partner, Michael Cossey, told police.
Police spokeswoman Alyson Crean said that a cause of death has not yet been determined, but made clear that “There’s absolutely no evidence of foul play.”
According to the police report, Cossey returned to the condo he shared with Hamilton after a night out and fell asleep on the couch around 6 am.
It was not until an officer came to check on Hamilton at the request of an unidentified friend worried about his well-being that Hamilton’s body was found in the bedroom.
The Miami Herald reported that Hamilton had been extremely stressed about his business and the last time he spoke to Hamilton was on election night(November 6th) when they watched the election returns together.
