![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Today is the last day you'll be seeing the late, great Billy Mays endorse health insurance -- the company behind one of the legendary pitchman's most recent commercials has officially pulled the spot off the air.
Billy claimed his work for the iCAN benefit group was "the most important product I have ever endorsed" -- but now, 6 weeks after Mays passed away, the company has decided to go another direction.
For the record, the company did get the OK from the family to continue running Billy's ad -- and Billy's son also made the following point on his Twitter page, "When actors die, their movies continue to play, right?"

Hence the reasoning behind why his family is legally disputing that there were a dozen different kinds of prescription drugs in his blood system when he died...shocking.

Billy Mays for Health Insurance is like George Bush for higher education.
Per your story please be advised Robin Motola, one of the nurses suing Las Encinas Hospital, is herself guilty of a great deal of negligence in regards to patient care and unspeakable breaches of psychiatric ethics. With a little investigation you'll find she was widely known for taking home discharged patients for drugs and sex. My friend, Tamar Hirsch, who Robin illegally treated outside of the hospital because her father paid for it (she was only interested in these types of patients if they could provide money or drugs or she had a sexual attraction to them) witnessed this many times. The story deserves further investigation as well as criminal investigation.

ALL Billy Mays ads should be pulled.
I'm NOT buying anything a dead guy recommends. In fact, I boycott any products still using Billy Mays as a spokeperson.

This had *nothing* to do with the fact that the toxicology report took 6 reams of paper to complete.

Comparing this commercial to actors' movies continuing to be played is just bizarre. Having a man who died with cocaine in his system pushing insurance would be creepy and inappropriate.
