Billy Mays 911 Call -- 'It's Too Late'

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made from the home of Billy Mays, where he was found dead yesterday morning.

Billy Mays -- play audio

During the emotional call, Billy's wife is asked to move his body from the bed to the floor so she can perform CPR -- just like in the Michael Jackson 911 call -- but then an unknown male takes the phone to tell the dispatcher, "It's too late."

We're told by Tampa police officials the mystery male heard in the call was a family friend who was visiting from out of town.

18. Why is the dumb operator saying we can still help him when they're saying he's rigid, cold & they can't move him. Obviously he's dead. Do not give the family a false sense of hope.

19. NOW FOR ALL OF THE NAYSAYERS, LISTEN TO THIS 911 CALL AND COMPARE IT TO THE 911 CALL FROM DANNY GANS WIFE....IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MRS. MAYS WAS DEEPLY UPSET UPON FINDING HER HUSBAND DEAD IN BED...FEELING HELPLESS...BUT WHEN LISTENING TO THE CALL FROM MRS. GANS..SHE SIMPLY IS MONOTONE AND MATTER OF FACT..KINDA LIKE SHE'S LATE FOR A MANICURE. SURE, WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT IN THE WAY WE EXPRESS OUR EMOTIONS, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE THIS IS YOUR HUSBAND DEAD IN BED!!!! MRS. GANS OBVIOUSLY KNEW MORE THAN SHE PORTRAYED AND HER WORDS TOLD THE STORY. YOU CAN'T MAKE SENSE OF HER TOTAL LACK OF EMOTION.
TO BILLY AND DANNY MAY YOU BOTH REST IN PEACE.

20. TMZ, can you find out who the man is on the phone on the Mays end of the conversation? He sounds like he has an accent that is not native to the US.

Who is he and why was he at their house?

21. OMG you people on here make the dumbest, most disrespectful, and thoughtless comments. How the heck do oyu know how his wife felt and/or what she was feeling/thinking? Are you her? Were you there? It sounded as if she was distraught & crying to me...

23. I guess it was a concussion eh? Seems to be the most likely explanation. R.I.P.

Everyone is just dying! It feels like the verge of apocalypse!

25. That is the last time I ever listen to a 911 call on this site. I understand the interest in celebrity..but to listen to someone during the worst moment of their life seems wrong. TMZ should not be putting links to any 911 call regarding a death. I actually feel ashamed for listening to that.

26. Please take this down. It works alright. Billy Mays was a decent person who did not walked around in a drug induced daze. Please take this down for respect of his family for Pete's sake.

30. I'm a huge fan and I have to say......I am disturbed by this call. I am saddened by his death as he had so much life!!! His personality made him a HUGE presence! I will truely miss him! This was more shocking and sad for me than the whole Michael Jackson thing that is getting WAY too much press!!
