TV pitchman Billy Mays died

[ford93]

You would think people by now would learn from Natasha Richardson's death. Head injuries should be taken seriously. I don't know whats going on but theres a dark cloud over the entertainment business.

R.I.P. BM

May god keep you in a wonderful place.

Latest I've heard is that it was a heart attack. No evidence of head trauma. You just never know when the Big One's going to hit, I guess.

One thing's for sure... sometimes feeling oddly sick for no reason is a sign of heart disease. I remember visiting an older guy not too long ago who said he felt "strange" after eating a pizza... and complained about the pizza place. He was dead of a coronary the next morning.

He is now with the Great Almighty (putty).

Boo!

On second thought...



UE for the win!

Good one Uncle E!!!

Still, sad to see so many deaths...makes you think of all the people who aren't stars and getting no attention...

It sounds like the airplane ride and the hard landing probably knocked something loose in his veins and it eventually worked its way to where it did it's damage. :grim:

I had a pretty hard landing a couple of years ago in a storm at Narita in Tokyo. Fortunately, the only thing it knocked into my head was some common sense. Now, the farthest away I'll go for fun is Toledo.

Think I'm kidding? Family Force 5 is gonna be at Headliners tomorrow night. Take a listen and try to resist...

Heart Attack is the prelimanary report which may be all it was but the full report won't be out for 6 to 8 weeks.
50 is to young no matter what it was.

Wow, I just finished watching a Billy Mays commercial... He was shilling the AwesomeAuger.

I wonder how long his commercials will run.

I guess they'll run for awhile - they just showed a commercial for the Ding King...

It's must be only right that he still makes somebody else money, even after death... It's the American way.

Yeah I have lost a couple friends in there 40's too young to go....
