Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.
Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead this morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
Mays was also featured on the reality TV show "Pitchmen" on the Discovery Channel, which followed Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs.
That's from the LA Times and there's a story that confirms it from Tampa.

Wow. This is just unreal. First Misawa, then Michael Jackson, now Billy Mays? Who's next? Obama? What the f**k is happening to the world? *That's not supposed to come off as sarcastic, I'm just really shocked at all that's happening.

Farrah Fawcett died the same day as Michael Jackson too.

Apparently, Billy died of heart disease.
