Billy Mays Death due to too much Tony Montana
Famous sales pitchman Billy May’s toxicology report was revealed today and cocaine was found to be the culprit behind his untimely death. We all know him from his late night advertisement shows that promoted such brands as Oxy Clean and Orange Glo among others. His super pumped and enthusiastic style has become the template for late night pitchmen who try and ram shitty products down our throats.
What is the connections between being one of these crazy tv salesmen, cocaine, hookers and violence ? These guys are an interesting insight as to why selling products on late night television is not a good life move. See Vince Shlomi aka Sham Wow dude for a fascinating portrait of an equally disturbed television salesman.
Mays had a pre existing heart condition and cocaine wasn’t the only thing they found in his system. The autopsy also found low concentrations of ethyl alcohol “consistent with social consumption of a few beverages” as well as the narcotic drugs hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol, alprazolam (Xanax) and diazepam (Valium). I guess you could say Billy had a connoisseur’s taste for the pharmaceuticals.
