Infomercial king Billy Mays has passed away.

The TV pitchman was found dead at his home in Florida on Sunday.

Like Michael Jackson, Mays was also 50 years old.

Police say they don't think foul play was involved, however no official cause of death has been determined yet.

Our condolences to his family and friends.

    They all live near where a horde of celebrities would hide out at?

    Re: LDD – I have to agree with you,LDD. In this country (maybe others, too, but I can only speak about what I see happening here) we have a pattern of building people up, then there's a backlash, we tear them down,and so the cycle goes. I don't know why it happens, but it's been amply demonstrated time and again.



  4. 104

    God is call'in them all home….



  5. 105

    Carridine, McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson, Billy Mays…it's the rapture and God is only taking famous people, lol!

  14. 114

    Are you kidding me?
    How sad. He had become so well known just for his infomercials.
    What's going on with everyone?
    Why are so many in Hollywood dying?



  15. 115

    While I think his ads were irritating,it's sad that he died. And so young,too.
    Same age as Michael. WOW!



  16. 116

    I was a fan of Pitchmen… Life is so unfair.
    You will be missed Billy..



  17. 117

    Gawddd !
    Why are all these people dying ! ]:
    Even though sometimes I hated Billy Mays,
    (b/c I always felt like he was yelling at me)
    he didn't need to die this young. .
    what happened ??



  18. 118

    Awwww. That guy was awesome. =(



  19. 119

    Mario, have you learned your lesson?
    Short, sweet and to the point.
    Much better.



  20. 120

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!



  21. 121

    Oh, god no! I've been using Oxyclean ever since he started pitching it. It's great. Oh, I just saw him last night. He loved his work. So sad! Prayers to his family. What is going on?



  22. 122

    RIP, man. I really loved his infomercials!!! He just had a way about him. I really connected with his personality. He was a great man.



  23. 123

    People are just dropping dead. Fatty you keep it up and karma may come and bite you in the ass



  24. 124

    Bless his heart! All that Yelling probably messed with his blood pressure?

    Can't say I miss all the screaming - he didn't have to scream,
    I could hear him fine.

    I Love people - but we all have flaws. lol



  25. 125

    FINAL DESTINATION MUCH????????? maybe he was snorting his oxyclean and doing shots of orange glo



  26. 126

  37. 137

    He probably had a heart attack because he didn't do the snuggie commercial. So sad.

    Sorry to say but why couldn't it have been uber douche Vince Shlomi,the woman beating Slap Chop King.



  78. 178

    Sooo… Billy Mays was in a minor airplane accident last night in Tampa on his way home from filming an OxyClean commerical. When the plane landed the wheels blew out causing luggage to fly out of the overhead compartments. He is in a Tampa Bay channel 13 report stating "he was hit by one of the pieces of luggage but has a really hard head"! OMG its Natasha Richardson all over again. Trama to the brain caused his death I would put my life on it!? Lets bring on the autopsy!! RIP BM
