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 was found unresponsive by his wife 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 Mays' wife told investigators the TV personality didn't feel well before he went to bed that night.

Aww, that's a shame. RIP. Same age as Michael Jackson as well.

Never heard of him though.

Billy Mays was a salesman who was in many adverts in USA. Im surprised this many people dont know him there was many spoofs of him put on youtube.

He was a salesman genius and it was obvious he cared so much about his job.

Enthusiasm makes anyone smile.

RIP

I knew this three days ago now. He was a legend and he will be missed by all. Also, no more Billy JaboOody Dubs now! :@

I love the mock up he did where he went to a McDonald's like drive-thru *shudder* and bought food using his sales pitch:

"And get this, I'd not only want one sausage burrito, but two! Two sausage burritos!"

@Jew - I meant two, AKA, I found out on the day he died or whatever.
