Link. Billy was awesome; I'm going to miss him. Unlike most people I enjoyed his commercials ._. Imo this is way worse then Jackson's death.

DEVELOPING: Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday, FOX News confirms.

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to Mays' residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.

US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station.

Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times," Mays wife, Deborah, said in a statement on Sunday.


Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and now Billy Mays.

I still can't use this.

I only recall three celebrities last week: McMahon, Fawcett and Jackson. Mays died on Sunday which technically means it was a new week.

Ah, why the hell am I being so picky? An awesome spokesman is gone, and in the wake of three other celebrities no less. June has just not been kind to the famous.

Huh? What's that post above me say?

My dad just told me about this about 10 minutes ago. Geeze, there's so many people departing just in the past two weeks. It's starting to get a little unnerving. .__.;
If someone asks me if I'm enjoying life, unless it's something really unforgivable, I can't help but answer that I am. No matter how much despair there is, I'm satisfied with just living...Just being allowed to be here really is a wonderful thing.

Aw man! He was my favorite pitchman! I wanted to get his autograph!
I have an interest in spriting. If anyone has a request, don't hesitate to ask.

What is the difference between a duck?

Tragedies come in threes and we've had 5, so there could still be one more to complete a second set.

It's sad to see him gone. =c

Well it would help if we could actually specify which areas celebrity deaths belong in... MJ started here but was merged into the Entertainment section and then Billy Mays was merged here, it's inconsistent.
