HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- Billy Mays, best known for his high-energy infomercials, has died at the age of 50.
Police have confirmed that he died Sunday morning. He was found at home by his wife at 7:45 a.m.
Police said there was no sign of a break-in, and they do not suspect foul play.
The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
Mays became famous for his amped-up infomercials and spots on the Home Shopping Network. His ads featured him shouting about the virtues of products like OxiClean and Orange Glo while demonstrating their efficacy.
Most recently, he teamed up with fellow pitchman Anthony Sullivan for the Discovery Channel documentary "Pitchmen."
Mays was a passenger on the US Airways 737 aircraft that took a hard landing at Tampa International Airport on Saturday, an airport spokesperson has confirmed.
Mays posted about the incident to his Twitter account.
"Just had a close call landing in Tampa," he wrote. "The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."
Officials have not said if his death is connected to that incident.
Mays' wife, Deborah, released a statement Sunday.
"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."
Mays' son, Billy, posted to his Twitter account this morning, "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." |

He said stuff fell out and hit him on the head hard but that "he had a hard head."
Probably a concussion or what that one chick died from during that ski accident. Remember, head injuries are not something to joke about. They can kill with out warning. :nervous: |
