>On November 12, 1865, King killed himself by tying a bag of bullets around his neck and leaping from a ferryboat in New York Harbor while serving as Collector of the Port of New York. He was appointed to that highly influential patronage position by his close friend and political ally, President Andrew Johnson, in an effort to unify support for Johnson's presidency and reduce corruption but despaired of success.
