Billy Mays is next in the list of celebrity deaths. I'm assuming beard dye overdose.

DEVELOPING: Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday, FOX News confirms.

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to May's residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.

US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station.

Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

"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 wife, Deborah, said in a statement on Sunday.

Probably all the bloody chemicals he's been hawking over the past 15 years

[Jay911]

Despite rumors to the contrary, death by strangulation with a ShamWOW! has been ruled out..

Carradine, McMahon, and Fawcett were the first 3 [celebrities always go in threes].. Jackson and Mays next, and one more will double your order!!!

Ironically, Mays will have a quiet, private family service.

[sillysod]

shitty....

he was a fantastic pitchman (second only to Ron Popeil)

[FurryFragile]

Beard dye overdose? ROFLMAO, I almost died when i read that part lol.

I think that a bunch of us can agree that were all going to miss
the wierd bearded guy who screams at everything on the tv adds.

I wonder if his script accidentally got written in caps?

RIP, kind of a downer... his beard was pretty awesome -- if only I could grow one like that myself.

Although his ads annoyed me at times I gotta admit he was pretty damn enthusiastic about his job and did it well (in that his ads are all very memorable).

[Mr_ET]

tough week glad that ones over, let's hope no one dies this week. I'd probably have a breakdown if we lost the shamwow guy too.

RIP Billy, MJ, Farrah and Ed

i've had to have this blaring on the tv once or twice before bed when the gf watches it, the part when these fken guys stand around and talk about how 'snooty' such and such celebrity was on friday night, well, think about it, what happens when you have 30+ guys with telephotos in your face 24/7, amazing, the logic and that whole paparazzi industry.

who cares about knowing when Tom cruise went to get some milk at the supermarket?! he was wearing sunglasses too OMG :whocares:

celebs/ppl dying, thats a different story, RIP to all those who passed in the recent weeks.

[bituerbo]

Is it just celebs that are dying more? Maybe everyone is dying more... Nobody said the reckoning was going to be quick and easy.

Apparently cocaine contributed to his death, which might explain why he had so much energy in his ads.

Been watching his TV show "PitchMen" -- fairly interesting, although I gotta admit that the other guy (Anthony Sullivan) is far more likeable (Billy acts like a jerk/diva at times, although admittedly he's way more accomplished than Sullivan).
