OT: TV pitchman Billy Mays dies

Post by Modoc ED »

Let this be a lesson. If you get hit in the head, go to the Emergency Room to get checked out. Liam Niesen's (sp?) wife died from a head injury just a few months ago. They both shook it off, shrugged their shoulders, went home and were dead in a few short hours.

His commercials got old at times, but I still very much hate to hear of his passing.

That sucks. I heard him on a conservative talk (I think it was the WarRoom with Jim Quinn, not sure) show a couple of weeks ago. Seemed like a decent guy.

Prayers for his family and friends. I didn't like all his commercials, but that Oxy-Clean stuff really works... and without the chlorine smell and irritants.

I live in Hillsborough County where this happened. The coroner reported on the noon news that there was no fatal head injury. He did have some heart disease and they are doing further tests.
