Hi everyone, it’s Sonya today! I hope you had a great weekend. Besides glue and putty and gardening tools, do you know what else bearded pitchman Billy Mays loved? I mean, REALLY REALLY LOVED? Drugs! TMZ reports,
A mighty shocking autopsy report concludes cocaine contributed to the sudden death of pitchman Billy Mays back in June.
The report, which was released today, lists “cocaine use” as a contributing cause of death — along with hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease.
A Hillsborough County press release says “from the presence of metabolites of cocaine and the absence of cocaine itself, it was concluded that Mr. Mays used cocaine in the few days prior to his death but not immediately prior to death.”
Mays died in his sleep on June 28 at his home in Florida.
UPDATE: Official documents show the following drugs were in Mays’ system — hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (painkiller), alprazolam (Xanax), nordiazepam (Valium), benzoylecgonine (byproduct of cocaine) and temazepam (anti-anxiety). Ethanol — alcohol — was also in Mays’ system.
HO-LY COW. That’s quite the cocktail. Any other person, and that would’ve knocked you on your ass the first time. But not Billy Mays! It just gave him the drive to POWER THROUGH, TO DIG DOWN REALLY DEEP, to GET THOSE RESULTS, all while cultivating a beard that would have made Paul Bunyan weep with envy.
In Memoriam: Billy Mays Gangsta Remix:
Pitchmen was an entertaining show.
And Billy Mays was a likable guy.
But, when it comes down to it, he was just another middle class guy who made more money than he should have, and didn’t know what to do with it and the responsibility that came with it.
Three Bentleys?
Coke? Vicodin? Oxy?
He was like a white, middle-aged rapper or an athlete who’s 22 and now has millions.
He just didn’t wear his bling.
This is why you were told to not do drugs or drink too much in school. It kinda annoys me that his family is claiming there is no way he had taken those drugs. Just like the whitetrash moron whose wife went the wrong way down the freeway in New York State and killed a slew of people. What more do you want? You have the scientific evidence. Your loved ones were world class fuck ups. Deal with it.
BTW, that vid was awesome!
you shut you’re faking mouths! billy was a good man and hes dead now so just shut your dirty faking mouths you bastards!
Billy was a hard core drug addict. Not only did he snort oxy clean, but he digested mighty putty with his cocaine. He was a teriffic pitchman that’s for sure, but his demons got he best of him. Rest in peace my bearded friend!!
You’re an idiot.
Also, Benzoylecgonine IS cocaine.
