Infomercial King Billy Mays passes away


Billy Mays, most well-known for his OxyClean commercials, died in his sleep last night, according to the Discovery Channel. The spokesman was 50 years old. Discovery Channel issued the following statement: "Everyone that knows him was aware of his larger-than-life personality, generosity and warmth. Billy was a pioneer in his field and helped many people fulfill their dreams. He will be greatly missed as a loyal and compassionate friend. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family at this time of incredible loss." An all day marathon of Mays'

Looks like CNN is going to have to hustle around and put together another three days of special reports on a moments notice.

I saw the short CNN article on this today and one thing struck me (no pun intended):

It mentioned that he flew into Tampa yesterday and was hit in the head by overhead stuff when the front tire of the plane blew out on landing. I guess he mentioned that he had a hard head.

Why do I think it may come out that he had a more serious head injury than he thought and maybe bled out through the brain?

I saw that. Maybe he had a mild concussion and ignored the symptoms. The constant ringing of his ears from hearing his own voice may have covered up s headache. Could end up being an aneurysm or stroke that got him. Or maybe an OD of painkillers or sleeping pills.

I guess we will know in a few days.

I went to the icanbenefits site, the mini med Billy Mays pushed. Didn't see his info there. Maybe I missed it. Maybe he is no longer affiliated. Maybe they took it down already.

Filled out the quote form. Got an instant quote (GoHealth) and a few minutes later one from NetQuote. About an hour after that 2insure4less.

Guess it is a good thing I didn't give my real phone number.

Or name.

I used Barry Obama . . .

I can hardly wait to see the stirring tribute to this icon from Rob Liano on his blog. I am sure it will be very emotional!
