Interestingly, he was just on local news (Tampa) last night. A US Air plane had a flat tire while landing and Mays was on the plane and interviewed by television crews.

Most recent, yes...overshadowing, not so sure.

I somehow don't think there will be long lines of mourners on the street doing the Billy Mays pitchlines as a tribute to his work.

That would be just scary if there were.

Well, there are more bottles of OxiClean and Orange Glo in my house than there are FF posters and MJ albums combined and I don't save the bottles, when they're empty, they're gone!

It is been reported by Bay News 9, that Mays was hit in the head by falling luggage from the US Air landing. Sounds like a law suite.

It is now being reported that the head injury had nothing to do with his death. Looks like a plain old heart attack.
