Brew News: Billy Mays Was On That Stuff

Autopsy results show Billy Mays, king of the as-seen-on-tv sale, was on that Rick James! A Florida medical examiner said Mays last used cocaine a few days before his June 28th death. Mays was not high when he died in his sleep. But the drugs contributed to the development of heart disease which is what ultimately killed him.

Of course, no celebrity can just die normally these days. Mays also had alcohol, prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs in his system.

His wife is popping-off about the whole thing, calling it a sham-wow. (Ok, not really) Deborah Mays says she may call for an independent expert to view the autopsy results. Deborah says she did not know her husband was on cocaine. She says "Billy suffered from chronic, untreated hypertension."

Sounds like he was treating it with something... right Rick?
