I found Billy quite annoying on the teevee but some of the things he peddled like OxyClean were decent products. RIP. Sad to see someone go way before their time like that. Don't fret, we still have the "you gonna love my nuts" slapchop / shamwow / prostitute beater guy Vinny. .....That is if anyone wants him to do an infomercials of their products after all the trouble he got into.

I guess they're saying that he hit his head during a flight (or a hard landing) the previous day. Could be something like a cerebral hematoma (?), the sort of delayed reaction thing that killed that actress (whose name I forget at the moment) a few months back in a skiing accident. Weird.

Natasha Richardson. This does appear to have striking similarities to what happened to her.

May he RIP. Maybe now we won't be hearing his obnoxious yelling on the tv as much.

And #5 -not as famous perhaps but yesterday the 51 year old head of the Columbus Zoo, Jeff Swanagan died of a heart attack while mowing his lawn. Swanagan was the former head of and helped oversee the development of the Georgia Aquarium - the largest in the world. I recently read that the Columbus Zoo was named the #1 zoo in America. He will be missed. I need to mow my lawn today - wish me luck!

Or he is more like a spokesman? The wife and I plan to make it to the GA Aquarium this summer as well, I'll say a silent li'l "thanks" to him while I'm there. Hey, we should have a genvibe meet at the zoo!
