Michael sang to me,

Billy screamed at me!!

Nuf said!

Billy must have been REALLY tired of the Jackson coverage.

Kind of grew to like Billy from watching pitchmen. In fact it was on when his death was announced.

What’s with the awful title of this thread?

It's safe to turn up the volume once again.

Just kidding. Rest in peace Billy.

That is a real shame.

I liked the Pitchman TV show. He seemed like a good guy who helped a lot of people.

Yesteday he was on a commercial flight that landed hard and blew a tire. He got hit in the head by a piece of luggage of something and joked that it’s a good thing he had a hard head.

I wonder if it’s related?

Reruns ahead....?

Seemed rather young....heart I suppose.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

That would seem to call for an autopsy....

Well, I won’t say I was a huge fan of the guy, but it’s sad that he died. He was still fairly young by today’s standards, and he was far less obnoxious than a lot of other folks on tv. *cougholbermancough*

"Just had a close call landing in Tampa," he wrote. "The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

Officials have not said if his death is connected to that incident.

Sat what?????? He had a somewhat close call the day before (not so nerve-racking as to keep him from tweeting) and it might be related to his death?

That's not reporting, it's just typing.

For some unknown reason, the gods are cleaning house.

No pun intended.

DRUDGE has not even mentioned this.
Is Ed McMahon still dead?

It is my understanding that both Michael and Billy were avid iPhone users. Never know if the over-priced cheap Chinese electronics caused their death.

“Michael sang to me,

Billy screamed at me!!”

Both were rather high pitched;-]

Caught your eye did it? Are you a fan?

Seems quite likely ... undiagnosed subdural hematoma? did he refuse medical attention yesterday? Perhaps there is a lesson-to-be-learned there.

Prayers up for his loved ones.

Apart from the roughness of the landing, could it have been deep vein thrombosis? Just brainstorming.
