So true

He was one of a kind

 

[gildedangel]

Wow, what is up with all of these celebrities dying so young? It's so sad. RIP Billy Mays.

 

[Little Addict]

who's going to die tomorrow? so many people leaving this life currently ...

I am so sad about this...first MJ and Farrah, and now Billy Mays? For some reason I feel even more sad about the death of Billy Mays than any of the other recent ones...it's just so shocking and surreal. Like snowwhite said, infomercials will never be the same without him

:'(

I heard about this! WTF! Is death in the air? It's all so sad.

Yet again passing at a young age.

"Police said Mays told his wife he didn't feel well when he went to bed Saturday night. Earlier in the day, he said he was hit on the head when his airliner had a rough landing at Tampa Bay's airport."

I wonder if this had anything to do with it.
R.I.P

Damn everyone is dying wtf?

 

[MissResha]

man, those billy mays commercials scare the shit outta me. they must record them at some super high ass volume because whenever they come on, they are like 6x's louder.

with that said, nobody is going to sell as greatly as he did. he was truly the best. because his loud ass was effective. i have almost everything he pimped on tv and i love it LOL

RIP Billy!!!!!!!!! (gotta use a lot of exclamation marks for him)

Yeah, I was wondering if he had an undiagnosed head injury.

RIP Billy. Too young to go.

True. RIP Billy Mays. Really unsettling how many deaths have taken place lately.

Side note - the sham wow guy kind of creeps me out.

 

[chocolategoddes]

this came out of no where. it's sooo sad!

i prefered him to the sham wow guy, he reminds me of what santa claus would look like if he was middle aged.

 

[ForgetRegret]

And Billy Mays didn't go around punching prostitutes.
I'm just sayin'...

I was so sad when I heard this...it was more upsetting than any of the other deaths recently, because it was so unexpected and random...this sucks. It comes in 3s, right..? Well this is number 5, so who's number 6????

 

[caitlin1593]

No that he's gone, we're left with the Shamwow guy who almost got his tongue bitten off by a prostite...

 

[BEA2LS]

it is disturbing how many deaths we have had lately

 

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

Thousands of people die every day.

They just aren't famous enough to make the news.

Just saying.

This death however did surprise me the most.. as he seemed to be healthy, and he didn't do it to himself.

I was so surprised to hear this-so sad! A lot of celebs have been dying lately it seems...
