Billy Mays Cause Of Death: May’s Autopsy Results

Billy Mays has reportedly died of a heart attack in his sleep, but further tests will be conducted to determine the cause of death. Read more on Billy May’s death below.

The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner, Vernard Adams, said Billy Mays suffered from hypertensive heart disease, and the wall of the left ventricle of  his heart and the wall of one of his arteries were enlarged.

Billy Mays, 50, was found dead by his wife Deborah in their Tampa home.

“The heart disease is perfectly consistent with sudden death,” Adams said.

The official cause of death will be issued after toxicology and other tests are completed in eight to 10 weeks.

“While it provides some closure to learn that heart disease took Billy from us, it certainly doesn’t ease the enormous void that his death has created in our lives,” his wife, Deborah, said in a statement. “As you can imagine, we are all devastated.”

Adams stated that Mays was taking the prescription painkillers Tramadol and hydrocodone for hip pain, but there was no indication of drug abuse. Mays was to have hip-replacement surgery Monday.

Billy Mays told his wife he didn’t feel well when he went to bed sometime a little after 10 p.m. Saturday. Earlier in the day, he said he was hit on the head when his flight from Philadelphia had a rough landing at Tampa International Airport. The airline said no passengers reported serious injuries.

But Adams said the autopsy showed no evidence of head trauma.

In the May’s 911 tape released Monday, a frantic woman tells the emergency operators she found Mays cold and unresponsive. The woman isn’t identified, but police have said Deborah Mays found her husband dead.

When asked what had happened, the caller says she doesn’t know.

A second person got on the phone as the operator encourages them to get Mays on the floor to start CPR.

“We can’t get him up, ma’am,” the woman says. “He’s gone.”

Billy Mays is survived by his wife Deborah, a daughter, 3, and a stepson in his twenties.
