Billy Mays, TV Pitchman, Dead At 50

Entertainment News

TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead at his home in Tampa, FL.  He was 50 years old.

50 is turning out to be a bad age to be these days. In a Final Destination-like turn of events, Billy Mays, famous for his Oxy Clean and Ding King infomercials, survived a near-crash on a return flight to Tampa, Florida yesterday, only to be found dead today.

The news comes from his son's twitter account.  "My dad didn't wake up this morning.. I'm sure you'll all hear about it. It hasn't yet hit me but it's about to." Sad news.

Our thoughts go out to Billy Mays' family.
