Actually, he seemed like a really sweet man.

I bet he got internal injuries from that crazy landing his plane made the other day. Trust me this story is going to get weird. I have a feeling.

Was he 50 or 49.95 ? I heard you can get an extra death for free if you just pay for S & H.

TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead at Florida home

TAMPA, Fla. – Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.

Tampa police said Mays' wife found him unresponsive Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. It was not immediately clear how he died. He said he was hit on the head when an airplane he was on made a rough landing Saturday, and his wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators he didn't feel well before he went to bed about 10 p.m. that night.

He got hit on the head hard, supposedly...presumably from luggage falling out of the shittily made overhead lockers that pop open if you look at them funny (anyone who has experienced turbulence on a plane knows what I'm talking about). Billy apparently played it off, saying he had a very hard head. Perhaps he had sustained a concussion, and shouldn't have slept.

I can't imagine what his wife is going through.... to wake up and just find your husband not responsive. How horrible.

RIP

Hi this is Tigger for reposts! Reposts make getting the story through twice as easy... the secret is in the "REPOSTNG" which causes board members to read the same story twice. Here's how to order...

Trust me finding the person you love dead is not a situation I would even wish on you.

I have.

It sucks hard. And, my thoughts of a persons public image don't matter much when you come to think of the human aspect. I mean, all of it this week is horrible. Farrah's family lost her - whether they saw it coming or not isn't relevant and doesn't make it hurt less. MJ's son SAW HIM GO DOWN which is a pain a child shouldn't endure. And, wow... just wow a wife finding her husband in the morning not waking from a night's sleep.

Make it all count people.

Sorry... guess I go against the TWF vein of wishing death and/ or congrats for death on people.

Nah, I'm with ya. May he RIP.
