Billy Mays...found dead

I doubt they will pull his commericals. I think he owned part of the company that produced them...so keeping them on will probably mean more money for his family.

Well, it wasn''t the bump on the head that killed him...it was heart disease. Still, none the less tragic.

Just heard this on the radio, too. Very sad!

I was SHOCKED when I heard about this yesterday. All these years seeing him on tv but now he had that Pitchmen show FF and I have been watching that I kind of felt like I was beginning to know who Billy was as a person and not a screamer. It's all so tragic and I feel horrible for his family...

And it's also so surreal and ironic that he passed NOT from the bump on the head but rather heart disease. So very strange that all that happened in one day.

He posted about the airplane situation on his Twitter page that night via text message:
"Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air.12:01 PM Jun 27th from txt"
