TAMPA — Billy Mays, the TV pitchman whose trademark voice helped sell everything from cleaning supplies to baking soda, was found dead this morning by his wife at his Tampa home. No cause of death has been reported and no foul play is suspected, according to Tampa police.

Mays, 50, was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m. at 2853 Bowen Daniel Dr., #1201. His wife, Deborah Mays, found him unresponsive this morning. The Medical Examiner's Office will complete Mays' autopsy by tomorrow afternoon.

"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 today. "Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."

Mays was a passenger Saturday of the 737 aircraft that took a hard landing at Tampa International Airport, an airport spokeswoman said.


'Tis a very sad day, today.
 
Thank ****. I was getting so sick of that guy yelling at me through the TV, he did one product after another and it seemed like he'd never quit.

Seriously, if I wanted to be yelled at like that, I'd (re)join the army.
 
While he was annoying as **** in the commercials, and egotistic as hell, he was a great source of amusement on the 'Pitchmen' show.
 
*Gooogles*

Hmm, he doesn't look quite real:

Like wax or something.
 
Wait, first Wacko Jacko and now THIS!? Our finest punchlines are dying before our very eyes!

Must be the economy.
 
ShamWow was a different guy. Weird thing is that I just saw this guy on the Conan O'Brien show and he looked fine. I guess his death was related to the airplane incident?

No-one cares about Farrah Fawcett.  :neutral:

People do, but her death wasn't exactly unexpected. She had cancer, and was 62.  Both Jackson and Mays were 50, and died quite suddenly.

But Farrah is still kickass.
 
It looks like he died exactly like Liam Neeson's wife. That is, he hit his head hard, appeared fine, and then suddenly died from internal bleeding/brain damage.

I realize that. I was implying that Vince killed him to get ahead in the business.

I probably should have been as straightforward about my theory as you were. I agree.
