I guess bad things do happen in three's. First Ed McMahon, Farah, Michael, and now Billy? Oh wait, that's four. Doh! RIP to the infomercial king.

You mean Black Beard?

he was on that flight in florida (i think) that blew out a tire during landing.... or something like that on saturday. from an interview he did with local news, i guess he was hit in the head by stuff that was falling from the ceiling. apparently he felt alright at the time, but went to bed not feeling well that night, and never woke up the following morning. he must've had some type of head trauma.

That is what I heard also. His wife found him Sunday morning "unresponsive."

Billy mayes was the 6th.

1st was a miami dolphins player (can't figure out who just saw it on the news this weekend)
2nd was david carradine
3rd was Ed Mcmahon
4th was Farah Fawcett
5th was Michael Jackson
6th was Billy Mayes

I wish they could give the young men dying for our safe way of life recognition seems like the media only cares about the top story. to all those celebrities that have died RIP they will be missed BUT to all the young men and women in what ever service you maybe in THANK YOU and to the fallen RIP.

Choked on a "big city slider?"

I was in Tampa for a wedding that weekend and I saw the plane he was on sitting on the runway without the front wheel when we were going to leave and thought "thats probably not a good sign"
