I just got the news a few minutes ago. Pitchman Billy Mays has died. He was 50 years old.
Billy Mays was the guy who introduced us to products like Oxi-Clean and Kaboom. Along with British pitchman Anthony Sullivan, he co hosted a show on Discovery Channel calledPitchmen.
Reports are coming in that he suffered a head injury during a flight to Miami. His wife said he wasn't feeling well when he got home and went to lay down. He never woke up.
Some are comparing his death to Natasha Richardson. She too suffered a head injury that led to her death. At this time, an investigation is underway for the cause of Mays' death.
My condolences go out to Mr. Mays' family and friends.
