Hmm, that might've done it, but you'd think he'd have died on the plane from that. Hmm. Still a shame. One of my other friends was a huge Billy Mays fan. Another friend of mine just became a fan of Billy Mays, just a day before he died. Bad luck. You become a fan of some guy, then he dies.

They said the autopsy would be done for him today. We'll have to see what happens.

Brain injuries can take time to show. Something similar happened to actress Natasha Richardson not too long ago, although in her case it was a skiing accident. She wasn't wearing a helmet as I recall; not a smart idea.

Hmm, that'd make sense.

Now they're saying he might've died of a heart failure (all too common these days...). Still sad, no matter how he died.

According to autopsy results, it seems that cocaine use was a contributing factor in the man's death:

Sad, but unfortunately not all that surprising.
