Legendary late pitchman Billy Mays' funeral was held in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania on Friday, and pals of Mays paid fitting tribute to their close friend.
The pallbearers at Billy's funeral all donned bright blue OxiClean button-downs while paying their last respects!
Those, of course, are the same shirts most famously worn by Mays himself in his popular infomercials for his top selling multi-purpose cleanser.
It was concluded that the cause of David Carradine's death several weeks ago was due to "accidental asphyxiation", or the inability to breathe.
The medical examiner stated he was certain of his findings, but admitted they still had not figure out why: "[W]hy that happened is still what we're working on."
However, Dr. Michael Baden knows he can rule out suicide as the cause of Carradine's death.
"He didn't die of natural causes, and he didn't die of suicidal causes from the nature of the ligatures around the body, so that leaves some kind of accidental death," says the doc.
Though the doctors findings did rule out suicide, they do not rule out the possibility that the asphyxiation could have been "auto erotic", or brought on by sexual activity.
We're sure, for the family, on some level, it's nice to have some more information on his passing and know that he didn't take his own life.
It's sad news for fans of the Mexican Lucha Mini stars, twin brothers Alberto and Alejandro Jimenez, known as La Parkita and El Espectrito Jr.
The two were found dead in their hotel room in Mexico City. The brothers, 35, were checking into a hotel on Sunday night after a show when they were reportedly approached by two prostitutes.
After hotel staff noticed the women leave the room hours later, but didn't spot the wrestlers, they went to go check on them. The two luchadores were found lifeless, lying in the beds.
Reports are being released that the hookers belong to Las Goteras (meaning The Drops) which is a gang of whores that robes their clients after making them pass out by drugging their drinks.
Unfortunately, the Jimenez brothers overdosed on the drugs which normally don't kill men, but officials believe because the brothers were of such small size, the dose was fatal to them.
Alcohol containers were also found in the room but the ladies are still missing.
Cops are looking for the two females and luckily have found finger prints in the room which they believe they can match to the hookers.
The long time lover and friend of the late Farrah Fawcettrevealed that his estranged son, Griffin O'Neal, was turned away from the funeral of the iconic beauty on Tuesday.
Even though Griffin drove 300 miles to pay his respects, Ryan O'Neal specifically requested his son be banned from the funeral.
When asked about his reasoning, Ryan would only suggest that his son is a "bad guy."
Despite his father's intentions, Griffin believes that Farrah would be upset to know he wasn't allowed to attend her funeral/
“She’s mad right now that I’m not in there," he said. "I just wanted to say goodbye to someone that I knew and loved for 33 years.”
We can't blame Ryan. Why should he have to put up with his crazy son's bullshit on a day of mourning? Clearly, Griffin just wants some attention. Well, you got it.
Innovative German modern dance choreographer Pina Bauschpassed away on Tuesday, at age 68, in a Wuppertal hospital.
"An unexpected death carried her away five days after being diagnosed with cancer," said a source. "Only the Sunday before last she was on the stage with her company at the Wuppertal Opera House."
The choreographer made a name for herself at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where she was known for a highly personalized style of dance, including exaggerated forms of expression and scenery.
Later this month, she was to present a performance of the The Seven Deadly Sins at the Chekhov International Theatre Festival in Moscow.
Doctors have ruled out the previous claims that legendary pitchman Billy Mays passed away on Sunday due to a head injury.
Dr. Vernard Adams, the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner responsible for the preliminary examination, believes that Mays death was caused by heart disease.
Awful.
There was "no evidence" of any sort of head trauma from Mays' rough plane landing, rather there was "evidence of hypertensive heart disease and muscular thickening of the heart wall."
Dr. Adams has reason to believe the OxiClean pitchman died suddenly in his sleep and that "sudden death is not uncommon" when it comes to heart disease.
The toxicology reports from Mays' autopsy should be ready in 8 to 10 weeks, but Dr. Adams doesn't think prescription drug played a role in Billy's death.
So, so sad.
Reason enough to get checked out at least once a year by a general practitioner as a preventative measure!
