Subject: Hiya CeCe...Billy Mays was an obnoxious (sorry but he really was) pitchman...he was most famous for OxyClean & Mighty Putty. He was loud, booming, & just overall obnoxious. I had to change everytime an infomercial with him in it came on. That being said, I do feel empathy for his family, & don't wish death upon anyone. His death seems odd, like maybe it had something to do with debris falling on his head after he was on a commercial flight that blew a tire upon landing. A la Natasha Richardson, maybe he had an undisclosed head injury from that.
In reply to: Cece...still saddened by the deaths of DC, FF, and MJ. 's message, "I have no idea who Billy Mays is. Even wikipedia didn't enlighten me really. Was he an advertisement man? I'm not being disrespectful, but I don't understand why he was famous." on 08:38:02 06/29/09 Mon

[> [> [> See I find him funny and entertaining. Kind so over the top it is hilarious. Never found him obnoxious. But I guess to each their own. Yeah from what I have read had a hard landing Sat on a plane he was on and some stuff fell on his head. -- Hope, 10:05:58 06/29/09 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> Supposedly the coroner in Tampa has a news conference scheduled for noon, perhaps then we'll know. I hope it wasn't because of the plane, but it makes sense. Like I said, I found him incredibly obnoxious, but that doesn't mean I wished any harm. I do feel sorry for his family, you go to bed & you just don't wake up. That seems odd for someone that isn't all that old. -- Jennifer, 11:18:08 06/29/09 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> I agree. Being loud was just his gimmick. And it made him famous. I'm curious to find out the results of the autopsy. -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 12:44:02 06/29/09 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Was watching Fox News, and the preliminary was that the bump on the head had nothing to do with it...they think it was heart disease, but of course the standard have to wait until all the toxicology reports are in. -- Jennifer, 12:59:43 06/29/09 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> It isnt unusual for someone to die of a blood clot or embolus after a flight. Sitting for long periods of time on a plane can lead to blood clots in the legs that travel to the heart or lungs. Him not feeling well before bed would also not be unusual if in fact it were a clot. -- Trish...I lost a brother in law this way., 14:03:29 06/29/09 Mon [1]
