Don't run from the truth

The family of legendary pitchman Billy Mays are on the medical examiner, like white on rice, who believes cocaine was a factor in his death back in June!

The Mays family finds the results of Billy's autopsy to be "speculative conclusions" and believe the complication of coke in their loved one's death "[obscures] the conclusion that Billy suffered from chronic, untreated hypertension."

So they think it was all for publicity? ha, yea right!

He had been treating chronic pain for a "hip condition" with prescription meds for the past two years.

Says the family in a statement released Friday:

"Given the hectic nature and pace of Billy's life, especially during the past 10 months of his exhaustive travel across the country, it was not surprising to hear that hypertension was the cause of his death. We were totally unaware of any non-prescription drug usage and are actively considering an independent evaluation of the autopsy results."

Are they in denial?

Cocain is bad for you

The AP is reporting that an autopsy on Billy Mays has determined cocaine use contributed to his death at age of 50.

Wow, with all his millions, he didn't buy a personal doctor and therapist?

Billy Mays‘ official cause of death was heart disease, but the cocaine is what exacerbated his health problems. Cocaine raises blood pressure and can speed up atherosclerosis (artery-hardening).

Small amounts of anti-anxiety and painkilling medication were found, too. Billy Mays suffered from hip problems and was scheduled to go under the knife for a replacement the day after he was found dead.

Wow! Whatever you do in the dark, will come to light
