Not sure if our friends overseas saw his commercials, but everyone here in the U.S. knows him I'm sure. Everyone pretty much remembers him as the "loud-mouthed"salesman from the Oxi-Clean commercials.
Quoted Text
According to the Tampa PD, the 50-year-old TV pitchman was found unresponsive by his wife Deborah at 7:45 AM. TMZ has learned Mays' body has already been removed from his home. Mays had just returned from Philadelphia, where he shot a new OxiClean commercial. He was a passenger aboard a plane that suffered a blown front tire upon landing. He told a local TV station, "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."
RIP

I think we're scraping the bottom of the barrel, here, with celebrity death. Mays was a salesman on infomercials. I hope everyone else stays healthy for a while because I'm getting annoyed with all these death threads. Phil

Patrick Swayze is probably next, truth be told... But this is a shock...Billy Mayes gone too. Sure he wasn't an A-list icon, but he was in more homes more often than most of those A-list guys and gals ever were.

I think he had a reality show on Discover too. My brother in-law was going to use him for a commercial, but he found out Mays was the most expensive person there is for commercials. I guess he was very effective.

Holy shit! No!
Anyway, too bad about Mays. Who's gonna be the "ultimate salesman" now? Vince Offer's just about finished after beating up that hooker.
