TV pitchman Billy Mays found dead at home.
He was on TV like Farrah and McMahon, the same age as MJ. Probably not on the same level as the other recent deaths, but definitely someone that was well known, especially with his reality show.
RIP Mr. Pitchman. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_billy_mays

CtrlAltDel-Online had this nice tribute to Billy Mays:

Had nothing to do with head trauma they say, heart disease appears to be the likely culprit. |

I can't take credit for this one:
They say celebrity deaths come in 3's. Leave it to Billy Mays to throw in a 4th one, ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

I just found out he used to be my friends' dad's neighbor. This was before he made it big. He traveled all over selling various products at events and split his time off between LA and NY (I think). Really nice guy. They still have some the stuff he gave them. He got rid of his place after a few years, because he was paying a lot of rent and only able to stay there a few days a month. Dude was always on the road selling.
