Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to May's residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.

US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station.

Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times," Mays wife, Deborah, said in a statement on Sunday.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

"William "Billy" D. Mays, Jr. (July 20, 1958 – June 28, 2009[2]) was a television direct-response advertisement salesperson most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products. His distinctive beard and loud sales pitches made him a recognizable television presence."

I hated his commercials so much. He needs to not yell at me to buy Oxyclean. I don't want any Oxyclean!

Sad for his family, but I really disliked him for his commercials. Kinda sad, though.

Fixed

Everyone knows Vince is a way better Pitchman than Billy.  However I am sad to see him go as his beard was so great.  I'm going to pour some oxyclean into my washer in his memory.



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

In less than a week, the US...no, the world has lost two great treasures. The first is an enigmatic superstar who obtained a level of fame only few have ever known. The other is an energetic pitchman who revolutionized the infomercial. All of us were truly blessed to share the planet with MJ and Billy.
