What's interesting about his death was this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mays

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife in his Tampa, Florida home on the morning of June 28, 2009. He was then pronounced dead at 7:45 am, appearing to have died sometime overnight.[1][2][4] The Associated Press reported that there were no indications that the house had been broken into, and that police did not suspect foul play.[4]

Mays had been aboard US Airways Flight 1241 from Philadelphia to Tampa that blew out its front tires as it landed at Tampa International Airport on June 27, the day before his death. None of the 138 passengers and five crew members were reported to be seriously injured immediately following the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises from falling objects.[2] Mays told a local Tampa television station that some of the objects "hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."[4] It is unclear whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

It's going to be weird not waking up to my TV yelling at me.

Wow... everyone's dropping like flies! Maybe there is something to the "three's" superstition.

I can't say I was a fan, or even liked the guy at all, but my condolences to his family and fans.

Wasn't he about to start a new show or something? Crazy.

Billy Mays was like the real life Funky Flashman. He had the look, he had the voice, he had the salespictch. I would've loved to see him voice the character in the DC Animated Universe. Or play him in a Mr. Miracle Movie.

Very talented marketing guy.

I love the Pitchmen show. Even considered starting a company doing something similar since I have background in marketing, branding, infomercials, t.v., product development, etc. Basically I got everything but the voice and I can hire someone for that.
