This is very very sad. This man was like THE best salesman ever. I mean, how can you deny Mighty Putty. Oxiclean. The All-City Slider. Billy Mays WAS the man behind those fabulous products.

During the emotional phone call to emergency services, a frantic woman (presumably Mays’ wife Deborah) says she found Mays cold and unresponsive. After being asked what exactly happened a second person gets on the phone and the operator encourages those with Mays to move him onto the floor to administer CPR. However, the woman and the man that called emergency services insists that Mays is gone.

A medical examiner says that Mays likely died of a heart attack in his sleep, however further tests would need to be given in order to be sure. Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams said that “Mays suffered from hypertensive heart disease, and the wall of the left ventricle of Mays’ heart and the wall of one of his arteries were enlarged.”

In a statement, Mays’ wife Deborah says, “While it provides some closure to learn that heart disease took Billy from us, it certainly doesn’t ease the enormous void that his death has created in our lives. As you can imagine, we are all devastated.”

How freakin’ sad is that!
