Filed under: RIP, WTF
What the F(*& is going on this week!? Billy Mays, the “BILLY MAYS HERE” pitchman extraordinaire was found dead in his home this morning.
From the LA Times:
Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.
Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead this morning after being found by his wife at home. 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.
Mays’ wife, Deborah Mays, says the family doesn’t expect to make any public statements and asked for privacy.
Mays was also featured on the reality TV show “Pitchmen” on the Discovery Channel, which followed Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs.
He was on the US Airways flight that blew it’s front tires during landing yesterday in Tampa as well.. craziness all the way around.
Fisrt the USA, then MJ, and now BM. who tha fuck its next . Its like some final destination shit.
everything comes in threes? i have no clue…but, he did hit his head hard on the flight, he told the press…so unsure if that would do the trick or not…might be.. an anyurism can’t be ruled out just yet.
