Billy Mays was found dead on Sunday morning in his home. The ‘Pitchmen’ man Billy was known for his boisterous voice and belief in the Oxi-Clean products! Ooooh, now you know. But why did Billy die and why is it mysterious and tragic?
More pictures of Billy after the skip…
Billy was on the flight that landed in Tampa and blew out the tires. Some passengers were injured. From the New York Times:
In a week unusually rife with celebrity death, it’s a little spooky to note that the king of pop, Michael Jackson, and the king of pitchmen, Billy Mays, were born within about six weeks of each other in 1958.
Mr. Mays, who was found dead this morning by his wife in their Tampa, Fla., home, was one of the loudest and, perhaps as a consequence, one of the most familiar voices on American television.
Billy said in an interview right after the crash that something hit his head when the airplane jolted to a stop. Then he wasn’t feeling good when he went to bed, but no one put two and two together. Billy didn’t wake up the next morning. It’s possible he had a similar head injury to what killed Natasha Richardson and Sonny Bono. A closed head, internal bleeding incident that didn’t get reported soon enough. Sad. Condolences out to the Mays family.
