Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead

Posted Jun 28th 2009 11:50AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has confirmed TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead today in his home in Tampa, Florida early this morning.

According to the Tampa PD, the 50-year-old TV pitchman was found unresponsive by his wife Deborah at 7:45 AM.

TMZ has learned Mays' body has already been removed from his home.

Mays had just returned from Philadelphia, where he shot a new OxiClean commercial. He was a passenger aboard a plane that suffered a blown front tire upon landing. He told a local TV station, "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

We're told Mays was at his home around 6:00 PM last night, and according to a source Mays was "acting fine and normal ... he was talking business with his father-in-law."

According to cops, there are no signs of forced entry to the residence and no foul play is suspected.

The Medical Examiner's office is expected to complete the autopsy by tomorrow afternoon.

I have no idea who this man is but any untimely death leaving grieving families is very sad.

This man does infomercials for different tv products. He is the most annoying man because he screams his commercials. I was just cursing at him last night with his yelling:o

May he rest in peace, but he probably died due to excessive yelling:-3

Check out his commercial...

After watching that commercial i would check for bullet wounds.

I ran across this in my wanderings:

Carradine, Mcmahon, Fawcett, Jackson, Mays....

Heaven must be gonna put on one heck of a show. Looks like it will be a variety show with at least one co-host, with featured entertainment showcasing Kung-Fu, Pop-Rock, Female Detectives, and loaded with tons of Informercials!

Network or Cable?

I'm finding the conspiricy theorie's quite groovy in a dead celebrity type way.

Have they all faked their deaths?

I wonder if the hit on the head was it-those things take time to show up afterwards. May he rest in peace, with all the others who went this week.

A customer came in today and told me Billy Mays had died. I asked what the punchline was.

Well, if Billy Mays was a famous baseball player in the '60s, it must have been Little League, because he would have been 12 years old in 1970, as of July 20 of that year.

His bio mentioned he played high school football, but I didn't see any mention of a baseball career at any point in his life.
