TV Advertiser, Billy Mays, Found Dead in Home


The TV Advertiser who is most well known for selling OXI Clean products, Billy Mays, was found dead in his home in Tampa, Florida earlier this morning. It is unknown what the cause of his death is. There has been no evidence of foul play or anyone breaking in and harming him. Last night Mays' flew home from Philadelphia after shooting a new OXI Clean commercial. The plane landed roughly due to a flat front tire, causing pieces of the ceiling to blow off. After the incident Mays was quoted saying "It hit me in the head, but I got a hard head". Maybe Mays suffered a concussion or other brain or head injury that killed him? Mays' family is declining further comment and press statements as they wish to have their privacy respected during this time.
