TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa police say Billy Mays, the television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50.

Authorities say Mays was pronounced dead Sunday morning after being found by his wife at home. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, says the family doesn't expect to make any public statements and asked for privacy.

Mays was also featured on the reality TV show "Pitchmen" on the Discovery Channel, which followed Mays and Anthony Sullivan in their marketing jobs.

Discovery Channel spokeswoman Elizabeth Hillman released a statement Sunday extending sympathy to the Mays family.

"Everyone that knows him was aware of his larger-than-life personality, generosity and warmth," Hillman's statement said. "Billy was a pioneer in his field and helped many people fulfill their dreams. He will be greatly missed as a loyal and compassionate friend."

I was just on a website that I won't mention and a poster on there actually said this....

"I am very happy that I won't have to hear him yell anymore. Sorry he had to die just to shut him up."

Well Psychotic, whether or not MJ was a freak he gave a lot to the world in music and in charity... It's not the "value" put on these lives, it's their fame and how much of it they had.. MJ was a brilliant but tormented person... Farrah's death was completely overshadowed by MJ's but no less important... She was popular for different reasons and with different people.. MJ's death is considered as huge as Elvis' and will always be up there with that from what I can see going on and being said...

This is a week of death. This will sound cold, but at this point I don't care what celeb dies right now, my 18 year old cat died this week too and thats more devastating because I grew up with her by my side.
