An autopsy report says cocaine contributed to the death of TV pitchman Billy Mays.
The 50-year bearded TV personality died of a heart attack in his sleep. His wife found him unresponsive June 28 at their condo in Tampa, Fla.
A release from the Hillsborough County medical examiner's office Friday said Mays had last used cocaine days before his death.
The report said that although Mays died from heart disease, cocaine use was a contributing cause of death.
Damn. Such a waste of life that drug has caused.
Well, this explains a lot :-)
chain mail as a news source?
There are some better sources out there, to include:

I didn’t have Billy Mays pegged as a cokehead.
not chain mail; through legit e-mail :)
CYA for the airlines?
“How does cocaine make you feel? It makes you feel like
having more cocaine.”—Bill Cosby
Thus the problem
“Hi! Billy Mays here! Bet you never saw that coming, did ya?!”
Meth, yeah.
But not coke.
More Cosby,
“So I asked the guy what was so great about cocaine?”
“He said it ‘intensifies your personality.’”
And I said, “Yeah, but what if you’re an a-hole?”

Oh that’s right! I should have remembered that one—and I have quoted it before!
I think your original quote was from Richard Pryor.
Well, he and I agree on that one...
How dissappointing, I expected more of Billy.
