I'm dead.
http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-billy-mays29-2009jun29,0,6116879.story
He was found unresponsive in his home by his wife and he couldn't be revived. America has now lost a valuable infomercial salesman. Who will yell at us to buy products on TV now? Vince Shlomi the Scout?

Image aside, RIP Billy. God damn, this has been a bad week for anyone considered famous in the public light. What's worse is Mays was also 50 and died in the same vague manner as Michael Jackson. No cause of death confirmed yet.
-
Someone is doing this...
-
I agree, these deaths can't all be coincidences can they?
-
Someone has hired an assasin. I know it, but this chain is suspicious. SOMEONE is killing them, it's the chef, how else how can they die from a random heart attack?
By all means, first Micheal, now Billy. Both died from a random heart attack. and both were 50. Something is odd.

Well, a lot of the people we know as famous are getting older. It's only a matter of time until they really begin dropping like flies. In this case, this was a guy who burst on to the TV yelling at us to buy OxyClean and Easy-off Bam. He only became famous because the Internet grabbed on to his loud ways and ran with it... sort of like an American version of Barry Scott. This may be a death that hurts the Internet more than people in real life, though it's still sad nonetheless.
-
I know I just found out too.. I was gonna make a thread about it but you guys got to it first. News sure flies fast. RIP Billy Mays.. ;O;
-
I say the scout did it. With that sponge of his.

Okay, seriously, what is going on lately?

At least Billy Mays images won't be mounted on the front page of Photobucket, or be mentioned on the Radio followed by one of his best songs.

this is weird. of all the emotions this could make me feel, i'm only left confused, flabbergasted, even, at how this is even possible. four important people to pop culture (some more important than others) have died in less than a week. Billy Mays said it best: "You shitting me?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LtIvPTH9Ho)
Billy will be missed.
and yes, we should start protecting all the important, older celebrities.
-
This year is really f**ked up: 2 famous Slovak people (actor - cancer, Writer - old age)
1 famous Czech singer
David Carradine
That actress who´s name I forgot
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays (someone I hear the first time about lol)
.........I would really watch over Elton John, Madonna, George Michael, Paul McCartney etc.
-
He's promoting Angel Wings now. RIP, you magnificent bastard!

WHAT. THE. [TORNADO FANG]ING. HELL...?!
Although the police suspect no foul play, I agree that something is up. Although I never really thought that real Death Notes actually existed before, I'm having second thoughts now. If a Death Note really IS involved, there is no way to protect any other celebrities.
But why Celebrities? I'm thinking that it might be somebody is doing this outside of the country (will not say the "T" word in case of banning or some government official tracking my I.P address and arresting me). This is just too damn suspicious.
-
This one is just a freak accident, likely. Still it's a bit soon to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is ruled as one.
-
Holy! :o
Whoa, Sparky must be very shocked hearing this!
2009 is a crazy year...
-
And it's not even over!

What the hell's going on!? Is the Grim Reaper trying to kill everyone because of our economy!? I heard rumors about this, at first it was a joke but it turns out that the news was real. Aww man, there's goes my favorite meme. T_T

Then there are idiots folks that assume that a Death Note is being used on celeberties that are well 50 and over (not the ones who joke about it, those morons who actually take it seriously).
Really, there are.

The 50-year-old known for his shouting OxiClean ads was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m. The Hillsborough County medical examiner will perform an autopsy, Tampa police Lt. Brian Dugan said.
Mays was on the US Airways flight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Tampa on Saturday that had a hard landing at Tampa International Airport when the plane's front tire blew out. There were no reported injuries on Flight 1241, US Airways told CNN.
According to a local Tampa TV station, Mays said: "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."
Airline spokesman Jim Olson told CNN Sunday there were no reported passenger injuries from flight 1241. The airline vowed to "cooperate fully" with authorities in the investigation.
"We were very sad to learn of Billy Mays' passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family," Olson said. Tampa officials say the Medical Examiner's Office expects to complete an autopsy by Monday afternoon. In a statement, Deborah Mays said that although "Billy lived a public life," the family does not plan immediate public statements about his death.
Mays was a spokesman for Orange Glo and detergent OxiClean and appeared in commercials for other products.
He is featured on the reality TV show ''Pitchmen'' on the Discovery Channel, which follows pitch people in their jobs.
"It is with incredible sadness that we have to report that Billy Mays died in his sleep last night," said a statement from the Discovery Channel. "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."

pfft shut up i've been gone all day.
-
Supposedly the reson billy mays died , it was because of a flight he just had a bit ago , a loosely closed cargo thing ( you know the spots above the seats to put random stuff ) a suitcase fell on his head ( not that heavy ) and that might have caused the problem because they were also up in the air when this happened
-
Not confirmed, but I'd almost bet that was it.
-

Really, there are.
are you sure it's not you who's taking their joke too seriously?

I think if im right, that if you write your name in another deathnote at the same time, you cancel it.
-
It is really weird that this many celebraties have been dying the past 2 years seriously is there any connection to these people or are these really unfortunate coincidences?
-
I'd like to chalk it up to disturbing coincidence. Though, if another celeb goes within a few days, I'll start to wonder otherwise...
Either way, the news was quite shocking. Again, Billy Mays was one of the last people that I'd expect to die.
-
WTF? For real!?!
-
yeah for real
oh well in the meantime , we can watch a jail soof of the shamwow guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMMxIAn_76g

seems celebrities are dropping like flies, first Farrah but she was old then MJ and now Billy i think theres a conspiracy goin on '>.> -_-

The autopsy was completed and the falling luggage has nothing to do with his death. And I quote from a news source:
Pitchman extraordinaire Billy Mays died from a pulmonary embolism, according to the coroner in Tampa, Fla., who said at a press conference Monday that evidence of heart disease was also found during the autopsy. According to Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams, Mays "had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of the ventricle which takes blood to the heart." Final results of the autopsy and cause of death will not be known for several weeks.Mays, 50, the bearded man with the booming voice best known for his ubiquitous OxiClean ads died in his sleep in his Florida home over the weekend.
His heart basically. It's not very often that getting hit by something like a luggage case can kill you. Or in even rarer cases, tumble.. have a headache then pass away like what happened to Natasha Richardson. So yeah.. it's pulmonary embolism. With all that yelling I figured blood pressure had something to do with it. Overdid his heart and yeah.. there he went. It's unfortunate. ;O;

Oh God, I lol'd so hard. xD And yes, that's got to be him for using a Death Note. But still, I don't think this isn't even funny though. :/
-
someone told me this, and i think it's hilarious while not being insensitive:
you know how deaths come in 3's? (Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcet, Michael Jackson.) well, Billy Mays threw one more in ABSOLUTELY FREE.
-
Oh [tornado fang] you Sato. XD

CELEBRITY FOXDIE
That's what I said at some point, and I stand by it. You know it to be true.
-
It's sad but Billy Mays has more of a personal impact on me then the other 2 celebs that died recently.
I have never seen a single episode of Charlie's Angels and thus Farrah ain't really anything to me... I guess she was hot back in the day.
Micheal...... I guess Beat It and Bad were good songs but I was never really a fan and most of us were either way to young or not even born when Thriller came out to truly be there at his peak.
Now Billy..... Billy was around for all my shows. What would high school be like without Billy Mays inbetween my Beast Wars episodes or Megaman NT Warriors........ OXY CLEAN!

how dare you forget Ed McMahon.
