Probably died of a brain aneuryism with all that running around, acting silly, and carrying on like he does.

i actually liked billy mays and always joked that they should just let him do all the commercials on tv.
i watched him on the tonight show last week too (or i think it was last week). That sucks.

Mays had just returned from Philadelphia, where he shot a new OxiClean commercial. He was a passenger aboard a plane that suffered a blown front tire upon landing. He told a local TV station, "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."
We're told Mays was at his home around 6:00 PM last night, and according to a source Mays was "acting fine and normal ... he was talking business with his father-in-law."

The most important thing is we have that last OxiClean commercial to enjoy.
It's a long drop from Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett to Bill Mays. At this rate a getbigger could be next.

wow wtf is up with all these deaths lately. the guy wasnt even that old was he?
-
Apparently he got hit in the head with falling items during his plane landing yesterday. Most likely had something to do with it. Maybe that same shit Liam Neeson's wife died from?

It's unclear at this time as to whether or not an item fell from the luggage compartment or if Billy Mays was not wearing his seat belt and was bounced into the overhead bin upon impact.

billy's glorious beard and hair should have protected his head region from any blows?

"He was taking Xanax to keep him calm and pain medication but he was terribly frightened and anxious about the upcoming surgery on this upcoming Monday."
Could Mays death have been caused by drugs and/or a head injury? Authorities are hoping the autopsy and lab tests will be able to determine a cause of death within a day or two.
The hip replacement surgery was scheduled for this Monday, (June 29). Mays had his first hip replacement surgery last year but had a long recovery. They then performed surgery again in January 2009 but Mays was said to have been having trouble with it healing correctly. Saturday Mays used Twitter to fill in family and friends stating, "Getting ready to fly back to Tampa from Philly. Monday is the big day (hip replacement no. 3) Keep you posted."
Mays had been in Philadelphia shooting television sales ads but flew home on yesterday (June 27) to on Tampa Florida. There were troubles with the US Air flight, as the plane it blew out two front tires upon landing. The plane’s skidding caused items to fall from the overhead bins, hitting Mays and some of the other passengers.
Mays laughingly told the local TV station about the flying debris, “"It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head." He appeared to be injury free.

TV pitchman and reality star Billy Mays was facing a third hip replacement surgery. He was extremely scared over the prospect of his upcoming surgery and was on medication to help calm his fears.

xanax is a very strong anti anxiety med, he prob took a very strong pain killer too, maybe his nervous system just shutdown and he stopped breathing he was so mellowed out.

TAMPA, Fla., June 29 (Reuters) - Billy Mays, well known for pitching a variety of products in U.S. television commercials, had heart disease but did not appear to have suffered head trauma in a rough airplane landing prior to dying in his sleep on Sunday, a medical examiner in Florida said on Monday.
In a preliminary statement on Monday after an initial autopsy, Hillsborough County medical examiner Vernard Adams said his examination found that Mays had "hypertensive heart disease," which refers to heart disease caused by high blood pressure, but "there was no evidence of any head trauma."
Adams said this heart ailment "was certainly capable of causing the sudden death." He said Mays had died in his sleep.
"It's not unusual for persons with heart disease to die this young," Adams said, adding that a formal report on the cause of death would be issued only after the results of toxicology tests were considered.
The bearded, black-haired Mays, 50, who gained fame as an enthusiastic TV "pitchman" advertising an array of commercial products, was found dead by his wife at their home in Tampa, Florida.
On Saturday, Mays was among the passengers aboard a U.S. Airways flight from Philadelphia that landed roughly at Tampa International Airport after apparently blowing a tire.
Mays told local TV shortly afterward that objects had dropped from the ceiling of the plane upon impact and he had received a blow on the head, although he said at the time he felt fine.
Executives from the television home-shopping industry praised Mays' role in promoting TV salesmanship.
"DRTV (the direct-response television industry) has grown to be a $300 billion business during the last 20 years, and Billy Mays played a key role in making this possible," Julie Coons, president and CEO of the Electronic Retailing Association, said in a statement.

But, not cool enough to handle the Sham-Wow contract.
-
It doesn't really surprise me that he would have heart problems. He was always so hyper plus he looks like the kind of guy who would eat alot of red meat.

Are you trying to be controversial and stir things up?
Billy Mays was the best! His talent was unmatched, and his in-your-face yet warm style helped him become one of the most recognizable faces on TV. His products were awesome and were backed with his well deserved enthusiasm. He started off on the Atlantic City boardwalks pitching products and made his way to the top. Off the TV he was a warm, gentle, family man. He didn't deserve to go this young.
Personally I think this was way more sad than Michael Jackson. Jackson was a creep and a pedophile and he is currently burning in hell if one even exists. If not then he is just dead and the world is better off for it.

I am not really sure how i feel about billy mays dying............but i can tell you the fact that vince the 'shamwow' guy got his toungue bit through by a dirty hooker, who he in turn punched repeatedly in the face...............gave me a few chuckles ;D ;D ;D

No shit. I always find it a bit disturbing that so many people can identify with celebrities that really couldn't give a shit less if they lived or died.

I feel exactly the same now as I did before he died.

It's amazing, isn't it? People who worship celebrities. How pathetic is one's life, that you care who's fucking who, or who's breaking up...et cetera. ::) Then you get their deaths.....which reaches a new level of worship.
I'm so sick of this MJ bullshit. The fucker died, get over it.

the world truely is nothing but a high school with billions of people in it...........the regular kids ;who wish they ran in the 'cooler' circles, live vicariously through the beautiful people, the rich kids, the jocks......and they love it even more when they are brought down and humanized, because people like to see that those ahead of them possess the same character flaws and weaknesses that they do. a few kids are perfectly comfortable in their own skin........so none of the afformentioned bullshit really matters to them.
the more things change, the more they stay the same.......you just gotta take a step back sometimes to see things how they really are

I wouldn't be surprised if "pellius" has a few restraining orders against him. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would call a B-list celebrity and start breathing heavy into the phone or some shit.

Talent?? ??? ::)
It takes enormous amount of personality and skill to pitch things the way he did. There's a reason why he caught on to so many and he was a recognized talent in the industry of advertisement. Yes, he truly was talented...he was born with a gift that you and I could only hope to have. He swiftly executed product demonstrations and slogans like no other....Billy Mays will truly be missed. Damn, why did he have to go so young?

WHAT? You don't have know someone personally to like them. Where did you get that idea? Granted when someone says they like a public figure they go by the image they present, which does matter. For example, I like Tom Selleck and mma champ George St. Pierre. Selleck comes off as a down to earth guy and GSP seems very humble with a sick work ethic. I don't like Dennis Rodman or say, in the BB world, Flex Wheeler. Rodman is too weird and seems perverse and Flex comes off like a cry baby self-absorbed tool. I'm sickened by Paris Hilton. On this board I like Wiggs and despise TA. Maybe in person they're great or maybe Selleck is a dick.
I'm sure there are public figures you don't like and some you do although none of them came to your house for a bbq. And you know this and just want to talk smack or maybe you just don't like me and will criticize anything I write.

he was obnoxious, monotonous and loud, none of these 3 are talents.

REASON PEOPLE CARE IS CAUSE HE WAS ON NATIONAL TV AND HE DID YOUNG AND UNEXPECTED
it made the news cause alot of people know him and his products..........so the news broadcasted his death nationwide
dont make it out to be some conspiracy

-

Ah you have touched on something very important! He was indeed loud and in your face, but he remained inviting and captivating at the same time. Not many people could do that, but his strong personality and character was enough to reach and convince millions through the television each and every day. Best of all he did not bullshit...his products met up to the expectations one would have when purchasing goods from a man with such a respectable beard.
