Infomercial king Billy Mays has passed away. The TV pitchman was found dead at his home in Florida on Sunday.Like Michael Jackson, Mays was also 50 years old. Police say they don't think foul play was involved, however no official cause of death has been determined yet. Our condolences to his family and friends. Ironically, Mays was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday. US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station. Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

WHOA!! First I've heard of this!
Totally blows the "things happen in 3's" theory. I'll be curious to find out the cause. You are right, not a good week to be a celebrity. Thank God, I chose to become a flight attendant way back when...!!KZ ;)
Don't forget Karl Malden.....
I guess there will be one more.
Really sad week.
