Billy Mays has died!

[Jay Nunley]

I thought he just acted like a cokehead to sell crap no one needs. Of course, it's not the first time a sales person used coke to "overcome objections."

Based on certain things I've heard from people in Tampa about Mays (and this was before he died), it wouldn't surprise me at all if a heart attack was the cause of death.

Alright......spill!

This was the rumor I had heard about Billy Mays: he was into cocaine. I held back on posting about it waiting for the toxicology report, which came out today:

Autopsy uncovers cocaine in Billy Mays' body
Examiner: Drug use caused or contributed to heart disease, death

To be a big coke head, he had a hell of a big belly. So did he drink a fifth of whiskey everytime he took a snort? And he was not puffy enough to have mixed the cocaine with steroids.

Note: I have been around way too many druggies since I came to Philly in 2004.
