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.

106. Even though I didn't know Billy personaly, but the way he was on the TV show Pitchmen, smiling, always happy, caring, generous, and so forth, I really respected him. And for those people that thought he was annoying and wished death upon him can go fly a kite, If he offered you $5,000 cash, would you wish death or hate his annoying voice??? Thought so.

Billy and his family & friend were all great people. I wish the best for the family. RIP Billy, We will always remember you.

107. I will miss Billy Mays. I send my condolences to his wife and family. He seemed a very good man.
When they do hip replacements, they do an EKG but, unless there is some incidation of heart problems, they don't do stress testing or other advanced cardiac testing. Given his age and no cardiac history, I am sure they felt the EKG was enough. I wonder what age his father died at. That is a good indicator for early cardiac death. The only tfruly accurate test of his cardiac status would have been a cardiac catheterization, and I guess there was never an incidation for that. I'm sure his loved ones wish there had been, so the results could have been good.

110. Another way to see what's going on with your heart is to do a 64 Slice CT Scan. It's non-invasive and many places offer it. It produces a very detailed 3D view of your heart. Being catheterized can cause you to throw a clot and suffer an M.I. or Stroke.

112. WOW!!!! What a difference in the way the death of Mays and Michael Jackson have been treated by TV and Print...and TMZ. I think Michael had been dead only a few minutes when TMZ and the rest of the electronic jury announced that his death was caused by drugs. However, it only took a day before the electronic jury declared...that although Mays was in possession of strong pain-relieving drugs...it was quite OK...as someone had determined that the remaining drugs found in his home were appropriate!!! From CounterPunch.org:

by Ishmael Reed

If the reporting on Jackson’s death by the media wasn’t salacious and ignorant enough, it didn’t get any better the next day, June 26.

Ignoring Jackson’s philanthropic pursuits and contributions to forty charities, on the “Today Show, “it was all about what happened to all of the nigger’s money and whether he died from too many drugs and what’s to become of his children", questions meant to attract the prurient. Again, Diane Dimod was invited on to spread scurrilous unconfirmed rumors about the dead star. Some of the modern day carnival barkers like Chris Matthews expressed surprise that Jackson’s death resulted in such an outpouring of worldwide mourning. This is what happens to people like Matthews who dwell in an insulated white supremacist bubble (that includes the Anglo wannabe and Churchill admiring Irish among them) which holds that a narrow cultural strip between New York and Washington represents the world.

I would like to have seen more independent African-American journalists comment on the passing of Michael Jackson, but, according to Richard Prince, who runs a media blog for the Maynard journalism Institute, hundreds have lost their jobs over the last two years, including Pulitzer Prize winners like Les Payne.

With the absence of black and Latinos from journalism, the media have become a spare all white jury always ready to take down a black celebrity for the entertainment of the types who used to attend those acts created by P. T. Barnum.

Michael Jackson contributed over $300 million to charities.

113. Billy Mays was from McKees Rocks PA, not entirely far from where I am. His relatives still live there and no one who knew him has or ever had a bad word to say.

For all you ignorant pranksters who think this is funny and cute, he was an introverted gentle guy who happened to make a very good living pitching products. He was a showman and , while the informercials are hokey as hell, you REMEMBER THEM AND THE LINES THESE GUYS use....THAT'S THE POINT OF ADVERTISING! God....

But wait! There's more!

Have you heard any of the sick jokes about Michael Jackson? They are going around too and just as tasteless and tacky as this.
