Billy Mays here
Autopsy expected to confirm heart trouble
The question still remains, although the puzzle is starting to come together on just how Billy Mays died. While autopsy results are not expected to be in for weeks, doctors believe the results will show that Mays died as a result of a pulmonary embolism.
Mays, who earlier Saturday hit his head during a rough landing on a U.S. Airways flight, had told his wife before he went to bed that he wasn't feeling well. However, it is not believed that the injury had anything to do with the pitch man's death.
U.S. Airways confirmed that Mays was on a flight that landed at Tampa International Airport on Saturday afternoon. As the plane was touching down, apparently the tires blew, giving passengers a pretty good jolt and leaving debris on the runway.
A spokeswoman for the FAA, Laura Brown, said it was not known whether or not Mays was wearing his seat belt on the flight because the FAA was not investigating the death.
Mays was interviewed by Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate, WTVT-TV after the incident, saying, "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."
According to Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams, Mays "had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of the ventricle which takes blood to the heart." Evidence of heart disease was also found.
