TAMPA, Fla. – Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.

Tampa police said Mays' wife found him unresponsive Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. It was not immediately clear how he died. He said he was hit on the head when an airplane he was on made a rough landing Saturday, and his wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators he didn't feel well before he went to bed about 10 p.m. that night...

That really sucks. He was THE best pitchman in my opinion.
R.I.P

He could probably sell you, your own car. That is how good he was.

this is just terrible so many stars just dieing off. Billy was a great pitchman, he could make anything sound like it was something you couldn't live without. It's going to be alot quieter int the world of infomercials without him around.
