Billy Mays Found Dead at Home

July
On today, Sunday June 28th, Commercial personality Billy Mays was found dead by his wife. At age 50, he was popular for pitching a great variety of products on commercials and infomercials including Mighty Putty, the Awesome Auger, the Hercules Hook, Kaboom, Oxi Clean, and ESPN360.com.
It was not readily clear how the infomercial king passed away, but his wife informed authorities that he had complained about a bump on the head that he had suffered on the plane the previous day, and was not feeling well when he went to be at 10 that night. With no signs of a break in, police are not suspecting foul play, but an autopsy is being done, and should be completed by Monday afternoon, at which time the facts will be sorted out. His wife Deborah, has also made a statement asking people to respect their privacy for a while, as even though Billy Mays has lived a public life, she doesn’t plan on making any public statements over the next couple of days.
A spokeswoman for the Tamba Bay police has said that connecting the rough plane landing cuasing the bump on the head right now would be pure speculation. It is not known if Mr. Mays was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the plane landing, and there are no other reports of any serious injuries occured as a result of the flight. Regardless, we will not know for sure until the autopsy results are released to the public, and that may not even be for some time now, so we will not know for a while what actually happened to this advertising giant, who was rumored to have his own reality TV show about advertising coming out this Fall.
