Cocaine killed TV pitchman Billy Mays, autopsy finds
Cocaine killed TV pitchman Billy Mays, autopsy finds
By Tracy Connor
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Friday, August 7th 2009, 5:14 PM
Mays, 50, suffered from heart disease but his drug use contributed to his June 28 death, the Hillsborough County medical examiner said.
The TV salesman - who hawked OxiClean, Orange Glo, Mighty Putty and dozens of other products - was found dead by his wife in their Tampa, Fla., condo.
Initial autopsy results did not turn up evidence of drug abuse, but toxicology tests uncovered the coke in his system.
Mays got his start peddling products on the Atlantic City Boardwalk hustled his way into becoming a household name, recognizable by his blue shirt and thick beard.

Given his manic style, this is not surprising. Sad though.

His commercials are STILL running on some channels.
And I STILL hit the mute button when I hear that aggravating voice.

The one commercial that I see on of his that cracks me up is the one for health insurance. Schadenfreude much?
