Re: TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead at Fla. home

He was involved in a very hard plane landing on Saturday. It's too soon to say if they are positively linked, but it would be a pretty big coincidence if they weren't. With as much energy he puts into his commercials, it's not hard to imagine the stresses on his body...

He was involved in a very hard plane landing on Saturday. It's too soon to say if they are positively linked, but it would be a pretty big coincidence if they weren't. With as much energy he puts into his commercials, it's not hard to imagine the stresses on his body...
I saw a quote where he said was hit on the head by something from the overhead bin and joked that it was ok because he's got a hard head.

I wonder if he had a clot or something that caused a heart attack or stroke brought on by the stress of the plane landing? Or maybe something as a result of hitting his head?

Or the crack he was smoking to be so exited over Big City Slider Stations.

I met him in the local Home Depot about 5-7 years ago when Oxy Clean first made the jump from TV only to stores... he was pretty cool and chilled out. A friend and I were in there picking up something and he was just sitting in a metal folding chair in back of a cheap plastic table with a few tubs of Oxy Clean on display... no one even seemed to notice he was there, everyone was just walking past him... we stopped and talked to him for a few minutes, can't remember what about... he seemed pretty bored.

He's the one TV pitchman I'll miss... besides Ed McMahon and his old Conceco Direct commercials.
