Billy Mays dead? WTF!!!

[JEFF247]

Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.

Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.

There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

Heard the same thing on the TV. He is the 3rd TV pitchman to have met with some adversity. The Alexander Keith guy went to prison for child porn, the Sham Wow guy got arrested for assault.

Condolences to his family and friends.

SHAM WOW guy is back on or they are playing old spots.

Don't forget ED McMahon was a pitchman too!

I just finished the post, turned the channel and there was Billy pitching some Oxy-something. Only 50 and you go to believe he was in decent health. Can't imagine companies would you him without a clean bill of health.

News alert!! Just heard he was hit in the head by a piece of luggage in a landing of a US Air jet in Florida. Wonder if it might be the same head injury as the actress Natasha Richardson received while skiing near Montreal.

I could have sworn I just read this in another thread.

First MJ, now Billy Mays.

Bad week to be 50.

The story I read certainly implied that it was likely that there had been bleeding in the brain.

This is why you should always wear safetybelt when flying

 

[Keebler Elf]

He seemed pretty high strung. Can't be good for the heart.

 

[JEFF247]

Good news Bad news

First MJ, now Billy Mays.

Bad week to be 50.

Good news is I am passed 50 OK. Bad news is I am passed 50.

He's the third.

Celebs some more famous than others or vice versa always die in 3's within 3 days.

Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Billy Mays.

Time to update my deadpool.

 

[Berlin]

Just watched him and the other guy on Conaaan a few days ago.

[JEFF247]

Ed McMahon?

He's the third.

You forgot Ed McMahon. So can we expect 2 more celebs to meet their maker?

Luggage smashed onto his head when his plane jerked while landing. Not sure if it's related to his death or not.

 

[Rockslinger]

Apparently, he died from a hidden heart disease (maybe something similar to John Ritter?).

 

[CapitalGuy]

I am sorry he is dead, my condolences to his family and all that. But I have to admit that, despite being fairly pop-savvy, I have never heard of him. Hardly a celebrity. Sorry, but he just ain't that big a name. Sad he's dead, but its hardly front page news.

Down here in the states virtually everybody knows who he is. He was a celeb here so thats why its front page news. The autopsy shows he had a heart condition he didn't know of.

On a somewhat similar topic, is Willie Mays still alive?

Yes, ain't it sad that a father outlives the son.
