[scottw]

I remember prank calling OXYclean with my brother years ago (i was still in high school) and bitching that their product took one of the stripes off my shirt, lady didn't know what to say. RIP Billy.

Anyone think it was because he hit his head when his plane landed?

Doesn't sound right...

Man this makes me saddest out of the last 3 celebs to die. I thought he was annoying but his new show Pitchmen really showed me how sucessfull he was and how much effort he put into finding new products and advertise them. I always thought that stuff was junk, but watching the show they test stuff and make sure it actually is the best.

R.I.P. Billy... Will be interesting what they say on the show... I can't believe it.

Agreed. He was the only one that really affected me. He was just starting to bust into pop culture immortality with those hilarious ESPN commercials too. He really created his own niche, and I was looking forward to his future endeavors.
RIP.

I won't miss his infomercials since he annoyed the hell out of me, but do I feel very sorry for his family and especially his young daughter.

Comical..... But somewhat uncalled for.


He was in an "accident" in Tampa where the plane's front tires blew out during landing and something hit his head during the incident.

My conclusion is either:
1. He had a concussion and fell alseep; which is not a good idea to do after one
2. He suffered a blood clot that effected him in his sleep very quickly.

I also heard he was to start doing commercials for Taco Bell in August, I bet those would have been very interesting!

My thoughts go out to his family.

News reports just in indicate he already had a predisposed heart condition that he wasn't aware of.

Ok.

Billy has been gone for about 24hrs already and his autopsy has been released:
"Billy Mays had an enlarged heart and likely died over the weekend of a pulmonary embolism, or blocked artery, a medical examiner told reporters on Monday. There was no sign of head trauma."

Its been DAYS since MJ and can't get the TRUE story yet. Every time they seem to be ready to relese it, Jesse Jackson or one of MJ's family delays it or wants a second opinion....kinda fishy to me........

My thoughts are with everyone who has lost someone dear to thier hearts, famous or not.
