I heard he hit his head or something because of a hard landing in an airplane and just walked it off, then the next day his wife found him dead.

Word on the street is Vince Shlomi killed Billy Mays with a Slap Chop.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

RIP Billy

Only Billy Mays could make the three celebrities in a week thing even better by giving you one more for FREEEE!!!!! <rim shot>

That's a shame. This is one of the few celebrities I've really only heard good things about. I hope it's not related to the plane tire blow out.

f'n hysterical.

I have to say, even when he knew he was being taped behind the scenes on the Pitch Men show... he still came up with some total BS claims for the products (even before he used them or even saw them in action). Am I sad to see him gone? No, of course not... but he definately reminded me of a stereotypical used car salesman.

Unhappy

It is a shame.
He seemed like a good guy. Only 50 as well?!?! I was watching his show, "PITCHMAN" yesterday and found out about his death like an hour later. It is a shame. R.I.P.
