http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529328,00.html Found dead in his home according to Fox from a report from MyFOXTampa.com but I have not been able to find the story there. Confirmed here: http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/28/billy-mays-is-dead/ From TMZ
Man, what a horrible weekend. I really loved the Pitchmen series, he seemed like he really loved life. It's sad because I know he's got a young one at home. RIP Billy, you will be missed.
Pitchman Billy Mays dead at 50 http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/ju...-billy-mays-found-dead-tampa-home/news-metro/ I don't know what kind of health he was in, but I know he'd gotten a hip replacement recently. I knew a member of his family, who always said he was a teddy bear despite his outgoing personality on TV.
Man, I loved his ESPN commercial where his family had beards too. I can't believe he died, I would never have guessed he was 50.
Dynamic personality. I had just began watching the show Pitchmen, enjoyed watching him hype up products. Too bad he's passed.

Billy Mays had a great commerical on ESPN radio, it was really funny. "Now I'm at your front door..." I hope his family is well taken care of, someone mentioned he had children.
What the **** is going on here guys? Seriously. That guy was great. I love someone who can make fun of himself and not take himself seriously. He knew how to pitch a product well. UN****INGBELIEVABLE.
Wow that's awful. From that article, it sounds like he might of had a mild concussion, not realized it, and then gone to bed. RIP
The rate people are dying, soon we will hear this everytime someone dies. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWQMfJxABZ0"]YouTube - Super Mario Bros. Music - Lose a Life[/ame]
So no foul player does that mean he hit his head too hard? Caused his brain to swell? Damn what a ****ty way to end a month.

This is crazy, are you kidding me. I can't recall so many celebrity deaths in such a short timespan. He was also 50. Strange coincidence.
considering the last 3 that went......werent at the "dying old age" you arent exactly going on the same time-line with that "realistic" guess.....just sayin
fair enough, He was the first one to pop into my head, lets see.... what about Amy winehouse? would anyone give a **** if she kicked the bucket?
There is no justice in this world. Billy Mays dies and that jackass from the Shamwow commercials is still alive.
As a person, sure. As a personality, it would be a shame in the same sense as MJ (but to a lesser degree), because of the waste of a unique talent. But would it surprise me? Hell no.
