Billy Mays - Dead at 50
« on: June 28 2009, 08:48:43 PM »
This one bugs me. I have been watching "Pitchmen" on Discovery, and really liked the show. Yes, he yelled, he screamed, but after watching the show - I think he was a genuine nice guy - and I wanted to meet him, after all - he lives in Tampa.

This sucks - mark my words - it will come out he hit his head on an airplane that landed in Tampa and blew out itd front tire. Just like Natasha Richardson - hematoma of some sorts.

RIP Billy. :(

When I first heard of it on the radio, I thought they said Willy May's.  He never had a beard and sold blenders :rolleyes:

I could've had a great retirement if that happened.

According to the news, he had a heart attack in his sleep and his family
had a history of heart disease.
