TV Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead

The popular product pusher Billy Mays has died.
His wife found Mays -- best known as the pitchman for OxiClean and star of many other TV infomercials -- unconscious in their Florida home, TMZ reports.







A source tells TMZ that the 50-year-old was at home last night and was "acting fine and normal ... he was talking business with his father-in-law."
"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times," Deborah Mays says in a statement.
Police do not suspect any foul play.
