damn, celebs are droppin like flies

There will never be a another Billy Mays.

$50 bucks says that Shamwow mutherfucker is doing a little dance right now

vince was involved

I think he's another Natasha Richardson - he was on a plane yesterday, the tire blew out on landing...shit started falling and he got hit hard on the head. How sad.

OK, this is just wrong...

Carni - that's sick....but the next line should be "but wait! There's more!"

Too soon?

I never watched "Pitchmen" on Discovery channel. Looks like they are having a marathon Wednesday starting at 11am.

Has anybody watched that show? Follows Billy and Anthony Sullivan

Anthony who? I predict Tommy Vu dying next. It'll be a combo of David Carradine and Elvis.

I dunno - hate to say but Patrick Swayze ain't looking too good lately. Know he has been fighting pancreatic cancer but from what I understand there is no remission for that particular form of cancer.

Didn't a few of the Golden Girls die earlier this year? Are there one or two left?

Idle and Domino - wrong thread. Get over to Death Watch thread if you want to play :-)

(and yes, Betty White and Rue McClanahan are still alive)

I loved Billy's balls :-(

Wow. Looks like Billy had some problems. Lots o'drugs found in his body. Sad.

A mighty shocking autopsy report concludes cocaine contributed to the sudden death of pitchman Billy Mays back in June.

The report, which was released today, lists "cocaine use" as contributing cause of death -- along with hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease.

A Hillsborough County press release says "from the presence of metabolites of cocaine and the absence of cocaine itself, it was concluded that Mr. Mays used cocaine in the few days prior to his death but not immediately prior to death."

Mays died in his sleep on June 28 at his home in Florida.

UPDATE: Official documents show the following drugs were in Mays' system -- hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (painkiller), alprazolam (Xanax), nordiazepam (Valium), benzoylecgonine (byproduct of cocaine) and temazepam (anti-anxiety). Ethanol -- alcohol -- was also in Mays' system.

i refuse to believe it. I wonder if this means I can get the Tool Bandit on sale now?

Sounds like Mays went down feelin nice...
