Autopsy: Cocaine Contributed To Mays' Death
TAMPA, Fla. -- An autopsy report says cocaine contributed to the death of TV pitchman Billy Mays.
The 50-year bearded TV personality died of a heart attack in his sleep. His wife found him unresponsive June 28 at their condo in Tampa, Fla.
A release from the Hillsborough County medical examiner's office Friday said Mays had last used cocaine days before his death.
The report said that although Mays died from heart disease, cocaine use was a contributing cause of death.

Wow. I didn't picture him as a drug user. Guess it goes to show you......never really know.
:laugh: consider me not shocked when I really think about it.
Statement from his family:
Quote:
TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--"We are extremely disappointed by the press release released by the Hillsborough County medical examiner's office. We believe it contains speculative conclusions that are frankly unnecessary and tend to obscure the conclusion that Billy suffered from chronic, untreated hypertension, which only demonstrates how important it is to regularly monitor one's health. Given the hectic nature and pace of Billy's life, especially during the past 10 months of his exhaustive travel across the country, it was not surprising to hear that hypertension was the cause of his death. We were totally unaware of any non prescription drug usage and are actively considering an independent evaluation of the autopsy results. As those who were close to Billy knew, he had been in chronic pain for more than two years and was about to have his third hip surgery in 18 months. His use of prescription pain medication for his hip condition was guided by his physician and was at recommended usage levels. This has been a very difficult period for our family and we appreciate the respect for our privacy that Billy's many clients, fans and members of the media have extended. We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers for the family and will not have any immediate comment beyond this statement."
dude had three hips? Space alien telemarketers on coke. Between this and the slap chop going all slap chop, can't a guy have role models any more? I bet Charles Barkley could sell some stuff on tv.
I wonder if Cocaine use contributing to a death can invalidate a Life Insurance claim?
The medical examiner's office is legally bound to release the results of the autopsy investigation. Happened with my cousin, shouldn't be any different with any celebrity.
I'm not a medical person, but I do know that when I broke my nose playing softball many years ago, the ER gave me a pain killer that included a tiny trace of cocaine (that's how they put it). It kind of freaked me out rally, but they gave it to me (I think the term he used was "one grain" - it was 29 years ago).
I can't believe they are still playing the guy's commercials. I've seen a few over the last couple of days. It' just seems kind of weird. But I am assuming they were in production and ready for release at the time of his death. I'm sure Billy wouldn't disagree with them running, if he could.
