He may not be as well known as Michael Jackson, though he was born within a few weeks of him, but pitchman Billy Mays has just died also at the age of 50. He was found dead in bed. An autopsy will be performed in an attempt to determine the cause, but it looks like it could be another Natasha Richardson type situation.

He was on a plane whose front tire blew during landing, causing things to fall and hit Billy on the head. He spoke with a local news reporter after the incident saying jovially, "I got a hard head." It was during his sleep that night that he died.

If you'd watched any of his show Pitchmen on Discovery, you might have started to like him as much as I have. So sad.

Rest In Peace.
