For now it is a mystery why Bill Mays died? The autopsy said there was no foul play, and yet, I am leaving my options open. Could it be that he knew something?

Billy Mays was a great pitchman...annoying sometimes, but he got his point across!!! He will be missed. God bless his family that they may find comfort in his passing.

He sold some bad ass products too. Not like all of the other BS products sitting in our storage closet, OXI CLEAN is the best!!!

Billy Mays was really gifted in his ability to sell a product. Perhaps God needed his skills for purposes of revitalizing the faith of His people and recruited Mr. Mays into his legion of angels.
Many condolences to his family who will miss him mightily. Many prayers go out to them for understanding, acceptance, and healing of their hearts.

I have never liked his commercials...too loud. However I saw him on a couple of interviews and thought him to be a very nice guy. I wish a big heart healing to all of his loved ones.
