Update: Coroner's preliminary report suggests he died from a coronary (heart attack). Apparently he had Hyper-tension and some kind of heart disease.

And I have to agree that I was shocked by MJ but saddened more from Billy Mays passing.

Damn.. I have Prehypertension... and I am looking at 50 (48 and a half).

No way my good man the one's we were talking about are already in the bin. Something referring to f Billy and F MJ it was in bad taste and did not serve a purpose in this thread.

Autopsy: Cocaine contributed to Billy Mays' death
By MITCH STACY (Associated Press Writer)

TAMPA, Fla. - An autopsy report shows that cocaine use contributed to the heart disease that suddenly killed TV pitchman Billy Mays in June, officials announced Friday.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner's office previously determined that the bearded, boisterous TV spokesman had a heart attack in his sleep. His wife found him unresponsive in bed in their Tampa condo June 28.
Mays was a pop-culture fixture with his energetic commercials pitching gadgets and cleaning products like Orange Glo and OxiClean.
While heart disease was the primary cause of death, a report released Friday by the medical examiner listed cocaine as a "contributory cause of death."
The medical examiner "concluded that cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and thereby contributed to his death," the office said in a press release.
The office said Mays last used cocaine in the few days before his death but was not under the influence of the drug when he died. Hillsborough County spokeswoman Lori Hudson said nothing in the toxicology report indicated the frequency of Mays' cocaine use.
Cocaine can raise the arterial blood pressure, directly cause thickening of the left wall of the ventricle and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, the release said.
The toxicology tests also showed therapeutic amounts of painkillers hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol, as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam. Mays had suffered hip problems and was scheduled for hip-replacement surgery the day after he was found dead.
The McKees Rocks, Pa., native developed his style demonstrating knives, mops and other "As Seen on TV" gadgets on Atlantic City's boardwalk. For years he worked as a hired gun on the state fair and home show circuits, attracting crowds with his booming voice and genial manner.
He got his start on TV on the Home Shopping Network and then branched out into commercials and infomercials. He developed such a strong following that he became the subject of a reality TV series, Discovery Channel's "Pitchmen."

Well, he had cocaine, vicodin, and xanax in his bloodstream... sounds like he was partying hard with a low grade speedball, then hit the xanax to put him to rest, permanently.

Until the toxicology report I was more shocked about this guy dying than good ol' Michael Jackson.
