Billy Mays found dead
 
TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead in Florida home

Quote:
By Erin Durkin

Spirited 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 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."

Mays, who got his start peddling products to passersby on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, has plugged Mighty Putty, the Ding King dent repair kit, and, most recently, the website ESPN360.com

"With every product you see me on TV with, I've turned down 100, 150 more," Mays told the News earlier this month, while in New York for a look alike contest. "I've been on TV for 11 years, and all I have is my good name."

"I compare myself to a big-league slugger, a quarterback, the doctor who delivers the baby," he said. "I'm not an inventor, but I'll take your product to the next level."

I was watching that show he was doing with the English guy. Guess that will be going nowhere fast. All that yelling he does, probably had a heart attack.

Wow, this has not been a good week for celebrities.

Pushing_Tin 06-28-2009 01:41 PM
No way, I loved Billy Mays. The recent show he had with Anthony Sullivan was quite interesting.

RIP.

Is the Shamwow guy next....

I was sitting there trying to think of Sully's name for the last half hour. I thought that was a decent show. I bet his price for hocking was going up because of it. Things were really looking bright for that guy.

Hope not, he's defending our rights to not get our tongues bitten by hookers. He's a real man of the people. :p

This bums me out. I wonder if Vince had something to do with it. (j/k)

BanningZ 06-28-2009 05:17 PM
^ Oh Vince totally did.

He slap chopped Billy until the shamwows could hold no more blood.

Poor Mr. Mayes. :(

^^LOL, I hadn't seen that one. Good find, +rep for you.

Since he didn't rape kids, I guess I won't make fun of him. I watched that show too, he seemed like an ok dude.

Right now Billy Mays is in heaven fixing and reconstructing Michael Jackson's nose with a tube of Mighty Putty.

True, if they have enough money they don't even go to prison.

That does it....no more typing quotes from stupid videos for me! :p

semtex 06-29-2009 09:06 AM
I hope they put together some kind of tribute to Billy the way BET did for MJ. Just have every single product he ever hawked, with a bunch of Billy Mays impersonators. That would be awesome.

Billy Mays Mend-it Dub. The teddy bear part at the end is pretty funny. NSFW-ish (language):

That. Was Flipping Great.

tvfreakazoid 06-29-2009 09:29 PM
Yea I seen that show. But billy is more popular than that english guy. There goes the show. The english guy isn't as popular as mays.

Either drugs or poor health. Probably poor health. Or poor health can run through his family.
