KEY WEST, Fla. -- A Key West resident who police say was distraught over the presidential election results and worried about his business has apparently killed himself.

Police say they found Henry Hamilton's body in his bedroom Nov. 8, along with a living will with handwritten words "Do not revive! (expletive) Obama!" Two empty prescription empty pill bottles were in the dining room.

Hamilton's partner Michael Cossey told Key West police he last saw Hamilton when they watched the election results together. According to the police report, Hamilton was upset and said, "If Barack gets re-elected, I'm not going to be around."

Cossey says Hamilton was anxious about his tanning business. Police say Cossey found Hamilton's body after returning home from a night of playing cards with friends.

Authorities do not suspect foul play.
