How Did Billy Mays Die?

  • The Question ^^^ there

  • Answer:

    While Billy Mays did have something strike his head on the airplane, and while he had heart disease, the official cause of death is not yet known: 7/2/09 - from news article: Mays was found dead in his Florida home on June 28. A medical examiner says the 50-year-old likely died from a heart attack, though test results are pending. http://www.wcbs880.com/pages/4725125.php?contentType=4&contentId=4280625 6/30/09 - from news article: Billy Mays, the infomercial star who passed away suddenly on Sunday morning at the age of 50, will be laid to rest on Friday in the Pittsburgh suburb where he was born and raised. Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vern Adams stated on Monday that the likely cause of death was heart disease, however final autopsy results will not be known for eight to 10 weeks. http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/pitchmen-star-billy-mays-funeral-scheduled-informercials-pulled-9207.php 6/29/09 - from another article: Preliminary results from an autopsy conducted on TV personality Billy Mays suggest that he suffered from heart disease and an artery blockage that led to his sudden death at the weekend. Mays was found dead in his Florida home on Sunday, after passing away in his sleep at the age of 50. His death came just hours after he was hit on the head when the plane he was travelling on blew a tire as it landed in Tampa on Saturday, prompting speculation that a possible head injury was to blame for ending his life. The Tampa, Florida, coroner's office announced on Monday that the TV star suffered from heart disease and had a pulmonary embolism prior to his death -- insisting there was no evidence of head trauma. http://www.cbs8.com/global/story.asp?s=10619679

No one really knows but they think he died from hypertensive heart disease and that a heart attack was the likely cause of his death.

well, he was going on a plane flight. while landing, the tires blew out, causing some of the luggage in the overhead compartments to fall out. something hit his head, and he got a concussion. when you have a concussion, you are not supposed to go to sleep. he did though, and died.

of a heart attack not because his head got hit on the plane.

He had a rough landing on a flight the night before he died and a lot of luggage fell on his head. He said he was fine, but he didn't wake up the next morning.

He had an enlarged heart and died because of a clogged artery

He was found dead in his Florida home. Some say he may of died because he hit his head during a rough flight on an airplane when he first died, but in actuallity, he had heart disease. Here's the story; http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529328,00.html

the whole airplane thing had nothing to do with it. he was on an airplane and he got in the head and he coincidentally just happened to die the next day. the coroner concluded it was a heart attack
