Billy Mays Dead At Age 50
 
Quote:

Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.

Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead this morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, says the family doesn't expect to make any public statements and asked for privacy.

Mays was also featured on the reality TV show "Pitchmen" on the Discovery Channel, which followed Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs.

What's with everyone dying?

Son of JayJamJah 06-28-2009 10:30 AM

Just heard too.

Always sad when someone leaves behind a family so young.

Sham-Wow guy is probably celebrating however.

Arya Stark 06-28-2009 10:31 AM

I can't believe this.

And what's with the age of 50? x.X

boo boo 06-28-2009 10:31 AM

:(

RIP Bearded guy who screamed for no reason.

I'm gonna pay my respects by purchasing a lifetime supply of OxiClean.

Son of JayJamJah 06-28-2009 10:32 AM

Glad I'm already 51...

This is a good lesson for everyone, do not snort the oxiclean.

That makes sense, he was probably just trying to clear out all the coke.

Janszoon 06-28-2009 12:18 PM

Oh man, celebrities always die in fives.

LoathsomePete 06-28-2009 12:19 PM

I swear dying is going to become the new fad...

Darkest Hour 06-28-2009 12:26 PM

this all sounds like a joke. i can't believe all these celebrities are dying.

Mouchois 06-28-2009 02:11 PM

RIP Billy Mays
 
ALL REPLIES ARE TO BE LEFT IN CAPS IN HIS SHOUTING HONOR.

*In all seriousness, I've met Billy Mays in real life and he was a lovely man and did a lot for the community (donating money to shelters, children's hospitals and having many fundraiser events for different causes).

I also know there was another thread on this, but I wanted to clarify that Billy Mays was an awesome person in real life. Very down to Earth and sweet. His son was a blast and wife was a doll.

Fudge... Crazy week for celebs.

:(

boo boo 06-28-2009 02:15 PM

His awesome beard will be sorely missed.

asshat 06-28-2009 02:17 PM

THREE CHEERS FOR BIG WILLY.


...it's got to be a hoax.

Mouchois 06-28-2009 02:21 PM

No hoax. :(

Burning Down 06-28-2009 02:29 PM

A small one too.
Like, a tasmanian devil.
Or a group of pissed off turtles.

boo boo 06-28-2009 04:14 PM

Nah, I want to see that f*cker get mauled by a cow.

PinkCigarette 06-28-2009 04:30 PM

What the hell is with people dying this week??

boo boo 06-28-2009 04:37 PM

Yeah man, people rarely ever die.

Only 50 million a year, not much really.

almonds 06-28-2009 04:41 PM

I bet Patton means the famous people lol.

And I guess the whole thing about celebs dying in 3's isn't always true...

At Sixes and Sevens 06-28-2009 04:43 PM

Sham-wow guy got arrested. Is he still doing infomercials?

40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are

Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man...

Cows maw, not maul.

Jgirll 06-28-2009 06:05 PM

I loved Billy Mays, he's so humorous.
I'll miss his yelling and random useless products. :(

Son of JayJamJah 06-28-2009 06:08 PM

I guess I;ve been here too long, I always laughed at these type of posts when i first joined, but anyway here goes:

This is a music forum and though we can get no more then 2-3 posts in response to a new band or album we get Three active Jacko threads and 40 fucking posts about Bill Mayes and his just for Men IV feed beard.
