Billy Mays dead at 50
 
Quote:

DEVELOPING: Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday, FOX News confirms.

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to May's residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.

US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station.

Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times," Mays wife, Deborah, said in a statement on Sunday.

Wow, it's a bad year to be 50 apparently.

I poked it and it made a sad sound Jun 28, 2009 11:23 AM

I won't believe it until some other news networks confirm it. I guess the Washington Post is confirming thus far.

It's hard to believe. Billy Mays seemed to be in good health, if maybe a little stressed out.

Poor Billy Mays.

I think Vince may have a great chance to resume business, here.

Stunned. Sounds a lot like Natasha Richardson's death; hit head, seemed fine, died hours later.

Ceres Jun 28, 2009 11:44 AM

Wow, the autopsy results should be interesting if that's the case. Sad though :(

It's a good thing he made the most important call ever.

I couldn't stand Billy's informercials, to be completely honest.

I was JUST thinking that, too. My Slap Chop eats your Quick Chop!

wow I thought this was some sort of twisted jackson thread joke.
I just saw him on tv a few days ago on late night screaming his lungs out and all of a sudden his screaming has ceased.

Seems to be a bad decade for celebrities. Kinda reminds me of a simpsons episode when homer predicted the end of the earth. "The stars shall fall."
He wasn't a "star" sorta speak but popular for some reason nontheless

Billy Mays does not die.

Instead, he simply changes his name and face, then hocks more great products to us.

He is immortal, like a Highlander.

Gechmir Jun 28, 2009 12:12 PM

But wait! There's more! :(

This means that two more famous people must now die.

My money's on Swayze.

I would always turn the channel when he appeared :(

Dark Nation Jun 28, 2009 01:01 PM

I never did care much for his commercials, but that sucks :(

Wow... what the heck is going on these days... I can't wait to see who dies tomorrow... or later today...

Timberwolf8889 Jun 28, 2009 01:14 PM

Everyone's dying this week...I think they're all related somehow. Bonus points to the person who can draw me a sensible flowchart.

Dullenplain Jun 28, 2009 01:16 PM

This is probably even more random than Michael Jackson.

Seris Jun 28, 2009 01:34 PM

what the hell is going on

Man this sucks. OxiClean, Orange Glo, Kaboom, and ESPN360.com commercials will never be the same. :(

RIP Billy Mays, Vince didn't have shit on you.

Edit: Let's not forget Mighty Putty.

Sakabadger Jun 28, 2009 04:09 PM

Man, that's wild. I just watched him on The Tonight Show earlier this week, and now he's gone.

I'll miss his obnoxious voice.
