TV Infomercial King “Billy Mays” Found Dead at Age 50
The say deaths happen in three’s but in this case it’s happened in four’s. Last week we lost Ed Mc Mahon, Michael Jackon, and Farrah Fawcett. This morning Infomercial Giant, Billy Mays, the burly, bearded tv pitchman known for his boisterous product pitching for products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was only 50.
Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife this morning at appx. 7:15 am (Sunday). A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.
There is no suspicion of foul play whatsoever. The coroner’s office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
“Although Billy lived a public life, we don’t anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days,” said Mays’ wife, Deborah. “Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times.”
Tampa area media outlets reported that Mays was a passenger on a U.S. Airways flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, apparently blowing its front tires in an incident that left debris on the runway.
The scare of the rough plane landing could have jolted his heart putting him in a weak condition.
The unexpected and untimely deaths of four Hollywood greats in one week has jolted the world. Specifically, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays because they were still young and both died of something heart related.
