Billy Mays found dead at 50
Billy Mays found dead at 50

Billy Mays, the neatly bearded ad man famous for pitching (nay, nearly yelling about) products like Orange Glo and OxyClean OxiClean, was found dead at his home in Tampa, the Tampa Tribune reports.

Mays recorded many of his commercials at Springfield-based marketing agency Noble and Associates.

It's the end of the infomercial as we know it.
