Billy Mays, the infomercial celebrity made famous by his OxyClean commercials, was found dead in his Florida home this morning.
The cause of his death is not clearly known at the moment. However, his wife reports Mays hit his head yesterday during a rough landing on a plane. He did not feel well last night and went to bed at about 10:00 pm. No fowl play is suspected.
The AP reports:
"U.S. Airways confirmed Sunday that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.
Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
'All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping,' MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. 'It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.'"
