TAMPA (AP) — Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.

 

Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead Sunday morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

 

Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, says the family doesn't expect to make any public statements and asked for privacy.

 

Mays was also featured on the reality TV show Pitchmen on the Discovery Channel, which followed Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs.

What's weird is that the plane he was on last night had to land with a blown tire...but the plane landed safely and everyone was fine. Then this happens in his sleep...?

 

RIP.
