Seeing as how he had such a boisterous voice and leap-off-the-screen-like presence, this should come as little surprise. Famed TV pitchman Billy Mays, whose overly-enthusiastic adoration for OxiClean and Orange Glo helped Mays achieve cult-like status before and after his death in June, was discovered to be a fan of the disco dust. Lots of it, it seems. According to CBS, his "sudden death was partly due to his cocaine use, according to an autopsy report revealed Friday." Which, yeah, that'll do it. Compounded with Mays' heart disease, blowing rails probably wasn't the best move for the wildly successful pitchman. Vicodin, Oxycodone, Xanax, Valium, benzoylecgonine, and temazepam were also found in his system.

I liked him better as Tim Allen's sidekick anyway.
Tim Allen wouldn't know anything about cocaine use!
;-)
Well, R.I.P. Billy - Lord knows that Oxyclean really does a nice job on all of my freebase tools.
Cocaine didn't kill Billy Mays, cocaine cut with Oxy-Clean did him in.
That must have been quite a party.
With the list of other stuff in his system, I'm wondering if cocaine didn't almost save his life. The rest of it is all heath-ledger style...and I bet the coke is the only reason he manged to stuff all of it in. Why does coke get such a bad wrap, but the oxy is OK cuz' Limbaugh does it?
Coke and Oxy-clean is for kiddies. Mixing Propofol and Tide: that'll REALLY f*** you up.
coke is it
Can you imagine doing coke with Billy Mays? Torture.
What a nightmare! He'd probably scream the whole time!!
