Television pitchman Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday, FOX News confirms.

Mays was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to May's residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Mays, 50, was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.

I am convinced it was a head injury.

Poor guy.  I am sorry for his family.  Especially his son.

I hope he wasn't testing the strength of Mighty Putty. It is ashame though I saw him do an interview about a month or so back, seemed like a decent guy. Bad week for celebrities.

He was in a plane accident the day before.  Hit in the head by something.  Said he didn't feel well before he went to bed that night.

He was a d-bag but a loveable d-bag.  We watched Pitchmen regularly.

He was loud and obnoxious.
