I watched a couple of of episodes of Pitchmen. Mays came across as a loud mouthed, bitchy, little pussy.
I feel sorry for his family and friends for his death but he certainly was not a character to be admired in life.

I have to admit watching the show Pitchmen gave me a new respect for Billy Mays. I like how his people actually test the heck out of the stuff they sell... and how they reject the stuff which doesn’t work as advertised.

I have a slap chop that I bought from a Williams Sonoma catalog back in 1980, or so. Guess they’re not so new.
To: Doogle
No way. He was just on Conan the other night. This is getting weird...

Good guess...one other possibility is a blood clot from DVT perhaps developed from the flight that broke loose during the night and clogged a major artery or vein. Seems less likely though... I would bet with yours..’brain bleed from injury’!

May God comfort his family. This must be a terrible shock for them.His son, who looks a lot like Billy Mays, worked behind the scenes with his father.
Prayers for the family.

If I was to guess, I would say he had an enlarged heart and he finally succumbed to a massive cardiac arrest.....probably from a clot....just guessing...
