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.

Wow, and you know him and Sullivan have just started a series of tv show's that put both against each other. They say what were the causes?

Wow, just saw this headline. Very surprised. I watched his show a few times on Discovery, Pitchman. It was very interesting. Changed my opinion of him, a little more positive.

Tragic and also 50. Terrible.

I liked the cheezy guy in a weird uncle you never visit sort of way.

I'll miss him more than FF of MJ...I really liked the Pitchmen series...

Big Billy Mays fan, here. Bad week to be famous.

They are saying it looks like he died of a heart attack in his sleep.

I spent many long nights with him when my husband died. I couldn't sleep and the house was way too quiet so I would turn on the tv and watch the infomercials. Praying for him and his family.

We still use Kaboom that I first saw him pitch a few years ago...A really good product.

I saw a Tweet yesterday that said "don't forget to hug your celebrities."

Liked him, a lot of enthusiasm!
