    I suspect Vince Offer.

    The authorities will need to DNA test his ShamWow when he tried to clean up the crime scene.

    WTF! He was just on Conan a few days ago. I always got a kick how he opened each pitch with his patented "Billy Mays here!"

    R.I.P.

    This makes me just as much, if not more, sad than when I heard MJ was dead. I loved Pitchmen, it was a great show. Billy seemed like a great guy.

    This is insane. People are dropping like flies. So its been a game show host, model/actress, pop star, and now the infomercial king.

    I hate to say it but the only thing not on that list is an athlete.

    This makes me sad because I really liked him.

    Plus Oxyclean really works.

    they're saying that he was recently on a plane that blew tires upon landing, and he wasn't wearing a seat belt. Banged his noggin really hard.

    Hmmm.

    My wife and I watched an episode of Pitchmen right before bed last night. He seemed like a nice guy, and he was great at his job. I LOVED his commercials for ESPN.

    I wonder if pitchmen will go on? I was really wanting to get on there with some of my inventions.

    TMZ has video of him being interviewed at the airport following the flight. If the head injury is the cause of his death, that's a slow and painful way to go.

    People underestimate head injuries...even something trivial like hitting your head really hard can cause hematomas in the brain...i.e. Natasha Richardson falling in a snowbank and dying a few days later from a brain hemorrage...

    You just never know...however, it could be something completely unrelated like an MI or an aneurysm...

    Damn it man, wtf is going on!!! I really liked Billy Mays, even before he started working with espn. This sucks ***. I wasn't really upset over MJ, Billy Mays though, that's a different story.

    R.I.P. Billy Mays

    My wife and I were returning from Key West and connecting in Tampa. We heard about the plane incident from one of the airport employees. It had landed shortly before us and we were diverted to another runway. Sad about BM.

    I can't help celebrating. HI! I"M BILLY MAYS! Then there is me flipping the channel quickly. Sad the guy died but not sorry that his assault on my sanity is over.
