Billy Mays dead

JUST A PITCHMAN, BUT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST TIME OF HIS LIFE RECENTLY.

Everybody had heard his name from the infomercials, but recently he had also been on the talk show circuit. Suddenly he's not just recognized as a characature salesman, but he seemingly became an 'actual person' (and a nice guy) in peoples minds.

Glad he got his moment in the sun atleast.

Billy Mays interview from hours before he died.

"I have a hard head"

apparently not hard enough.


I just saw an infomercial with him. I basically screamed at the tv, "I dont trust dead people!"

it is really a sad death, but it may have been avoidable, should have realized it was bad enough. i wonder if the airline asked him to go to the hospital. on his tv show pitchmen, he had a subbornish attitude. I heard he wasnt wearing a seat belt even though they told him to put one on. that alone may have saved his life, i guess we will never know

How many people under the age of 40 actually get that reference in the Cable Guy?
(It is a reference to one of my favorite movies, BTW.)

RIP Billy.
 
About once a month I conk my head pretty good on the underside of my deck when I'm mowing the lawn. It's actually reassuring finding out that it was heart disease that killed Billy. I don't want to start wearing my hardhat when I'm mowing.

He was hit in the head during a hard landing, but died the next day at his home, possibly from heart disease. Now read this once again, slowly. 😉

He was on plane that "crash" landed.
Luggage fell on his head.
He died the next day.
Autopsy revealed he didn't die from the bonk on the head.
