mays.jpg TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead.
TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead at his Tampa home earlier this morning, police said.

Mays, 50, lent his trademark booming voice to infomercials for products like OxiClean, Mighty Putty, KaBOOM! and Orange Glo.
His wife, Deborah Mays, found him at their home Sunday morning, the Associated Press reported. Tampa police said there were no signs of a break in or foul play.

An autopsy will be done by Monday afternoon to determine the cause of death.

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days," Deborah Mays said in a statement. "Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."

Are we sure it was cocaine, and he wasn't really snorting OxiClean powder?

UPDATE: August 7, 2009

The Hillsborough County medical examiner said Billy suffered from heart disease, but his cocaine use contributed to his death.

...now we know why he was always so wired.

I'm already 50.... and I already had a brush with death. Perhaps I'd better watch myself for the next six months.

What's going on lately? Everyone seems to be dying at 50 years old. Oh crap, I'm turning 50 the end of this year!

You know, autopsies can be rather messy. If only there were some sort of product that could clean up all those fluids and semi-fluids...

Damn, I must have fast forwarded through all of his commercials. I had no clue who he was.
