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.

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."
