MetalGrand Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sad... DEVELOPING: Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday, FOX News confirms. Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department. Police said there were no signs of forced entry to May's residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon. Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported. US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station. Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident. "Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times," Mays wife, Deborah, said in a statement on Sunday.

Breaking Bohan Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Gosh darnit - I loved the pitch for "Mighty Mend-it" and the "Awesome Auger" ... Balls! Why!? ---------------------- Edit: I also saw he was making a TV show called "Pitchmen" which looked like it would really be cool. PS. The govt must be killing these people to distract public attention while it crams fascist legislation through the Congress. PSS. Was Billy Mays on TV in Europe?

I was just watching an episode of Pitchmen and looking forward to the next one and now he's dead. why are all these cool people dying? More freakishly, both MJ and Mays were 50. So, if you're a male celebrity and 50 years old, then you have a reason to be afraid. R.I.P. Billy Mays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhenom92 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 God damn it!!!! First MJ and now Billy Mays. WTF?!! All these great people are dieing and one while making a tv show. Well, if they continue to air the show Pitchmen, and continue to show Billy Mays commercials that had yet to be shown, well, the man has talent. Being able to sell millions of products from the dead. Rest In Peace Billy Mays, we'll miss ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixdust Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Vince Offer seen fleeing the scene with a bloody Slapchop and with a bloody ShamWow in the other hand (no drips!). God's robes are just a little bit whiter and his back doesn't hurt anymore because he's going to be planting sh*t with the Awesome Auger equipped with the power extender!
