Autopsy Shows Billy Mays Had No Head Trauma

Billy Mays autopsyThe Hillsborough County Medical Examiner just announced the results of Billy Mays' autopsy -- and said there was no connection between Billy's death and Saturday's rough aircraft landing.

Billy had admitted to suffering a blow to the head when the front tires of US Airways Flight 1421 blew upon landing -- but the doc said he found "no signs of internal or external head trauma."

Dr. Chrostowski said Billy most likely died from complications due to heart disease. He said the autopsy showed "hypertensive and arteriosclerotic disease of the heart" -- which is known to cause sudden death.

The doc said Billy -- who was scheduled to have his third hip replacement surgery today -- had prescriptions for tramadol and hydrocodone, but said Mays had no history of drug abuse and "the counts of remaining medication are correct."

The doc will announce the official cause of death once all test results are in.

47. Yep this sounds all too fishy about the heart disease and about to have his 3rd hip surgery.

The ceiling didn't come down. The flight attendants KNOW Billy didn't buckle-up.

I've hit my head on the ceiling in a plane with a loose seat belt while flying in rough turbulence.
Folks tighten that belt. Listen to the Flight Attendants. They tell you things for a reason...

Wonder if he had too many drugs in his system to relieve his headache?

48. How much did US Airways pay off the coroner for that result?

49. US Air could still have some liability. The heart attack could have been brought on by the trama of the flight. A lawyer might make a good case.

51. No wonder US Air doesn't care about crazy alcoholic employees who attack disabled passengers until police need to be summoned:

54. You people are absolutely disrepectful. Here you all are (except a few) making fun of this poor man who just lost his life. You know what? Do all of you really take your time to make fun of someone who just died? Seriously, its stupid and childish to see you all making fun of Billy Mays. He was just a spokesperson not the person who made the products. It's not his fault that maybe Oxiclean doesn't work. Bull crap. He was paid to say those things. If you get so annoyed by him why didn't you just mute the freaking television? He was most likely richer than you'll ever be so I suggest whoever wants to keep saying cruel things about Billy Mays needs to keep their mouth shut and go get a life.

RIP Billy Mays. Your in a much better place now.

56. No matter who was in the house, somebody would yell out - Turn That Down when this guy was on. RIP

57. I bet US Airways is breathing a big sigh of relief. 50 is awfully young to die of heart disease though. Strange his doctors didn't catch it.

58. #46 Macabre - SIMMER DOWN. People will be people, and the First Amendment is still alive and well last time I looked. This guy DID barge into people's living rooms with his voice. And you could never get to the remote fast enough. If you don't like their venting, tough. Get off TMZ. Go for a walk or something.

59. well since he was scheduled for a Hip Replacement today, wouldn't pre admit testing have turned up any heart condition? They cardiogram you and do stress tests and everything before a surgery. My mom had both knees replaced and had to have heart tests and everything before hand.
