So what is Billy May's story? Was he a sports figure turned spokesman? Or did he just invent himself?

Does this mean we dont have to watch his commercials anymore?
What will Mighty putty do without a spokesman?
Is Shamwow Vince gonna move in on Billy's Territory after he gets out of jail for beating a hooker?
This is better than non-stop Michael Jackson coverage any day!

They said that Mays hit his head in a rough plane landing, and after that
told his wife he didn't feel very well, so he went to bed.

I wonder if he died from epidural hematoma, just like Natasha Richardson.
