Interesting, but probably unconnected part of the Billy Mays story (from Breaking News):

Billy Mays was reportedly inside the U.S. Airways plane which made a hard landing in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. He has now died.

UPDATE: The Fox News story here.

UPDATE 2 - More information on the US Airways incident:

On Saturday, Mays was on board the U.S. Airways passenger plane which made a hard landing at Tampa International Airport. No one was injured in the accident, according to airport officials, but Mays told a local television station that an item fell on his head. "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head," Mays joked. Lt. Brian Dugan called it "pure speculation" to say his death could be related to the plane incident.

I wonder if they'll find a subdural hematoma when they do the autopsy?

UPDATE 3 - From Barack Obama's Teleprompter:

Big Guy bummed about Billy Mays; was counting on him to pitch healthcare reform, only not with a money back guarantee.

UPDATE 4: From TMZ:

The FAA is already deflecting blame for the death of Billy Mays -- claiming the legendary TV pitchman wasn't wearing a seat belt when he took a shot to the head during a rough landing on a flight he was on yesterday.

Here's what we know -- Billy Mays was aboard US Airways Flight 1241 flying from Philadelphia, which landed roughly when the front tire blew out as it touched down. After the flight, Billy told FOX 13 in Tampa that something struck him in the head -- here's Billy's actual quote:

"All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

We called the FAA for comment, and a spokesperson told us, "The passenger needs to wear a seat belt during landing and he didn't."

UPDATE to the UPDATE: FAA now backing away from statement regarding seat belt. Claims they were misquoted.

UPDATE 5: According to the website for "Pitchmen", the Discovery Channel reality show starring Billy Mays, an all day marathon of the show had been planned for July 1st. They haven't yet updated the website based on today's news.

UPDATE 6: It wasn't a head injury, but heart disease that took Billy Mays.
