Billy Mays Found Dead

Billy Mays, star of the show Pitchmen on the Discovery Channel, was found dead by his wife in his Florida home.

Police are reporting that there are no signs of forced entry or foul play at this time.

Billy's wife Deborah has stated, "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."

Billy was known for his in your face, rhythmic style. He stood behind his products and his family, actually having them help pitch a few of his products.

I personally enjoyed watching Billy, he always made me want to buy whatever he was selling. His show with Anthony Sullivan on the Discovery Channel was a weekly staple for me as well. One of the best reality shows on the market.
