I saw a picture taken of his pall bearers carrying his casket. They were all wearing the Oxy Clean polo shirts.

Cocaine killed TV pitchman Billy Mays, autopsy finds
By Tracy Connor

Hyperactive pitchman Billy Mays used cocaine days before his heart attack - and it killed him, officials said Friday.
Mays, 50, suffered from heart disease but his drug use contributed to his June 28 death, the Hillsborough County medical examiner said.
The TV salesman - who hawked OxiClean, Orange Glo, Mighty Putty and dozens of other products - was found dead by his wife in their Tampa, Fla., condo.
Initial autopsy results did not turn up evidence of drug abuse, but toxicology tests uncovered the coke in his system.
Mays got his start peddling products on the Atlantic City Boardwalk hustled his way into becoming a household name, recognizable by his blue shirt and thick beard.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I kind of am.  Too bad. TIS
