Billy Mays, the King of pitchmen, may have snorted cocaine in the days before he died, which contributed to a cardiac arrest, according to an official autopsy report. The Oxiclean spokesman died in his sleep on June 28 in his home in Florida.
From TMZ.com:
The report, which was released today, lists “cocaine use” as contributing cause of death — along with hypertensive and atherosclerotic heart disease.
A Hillborough County press release says “from the presence of metabolites of cocaine and the absence of cocaine itself, it was concluded that Mr. Mays used cocaine in the few days prior to his death but not immediately prior to death.”
