OxiClean TV commercial guy found dead

TAMPA, Fla. – Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman known for his boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean, has died. He was 50. Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m. There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department, who wouldn't answer any more questions about how Mays' body was found because of the ongoing investigation. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.____(AP/MITCH STACY copy/AP screen capture)

Michael Jackson saga continues by Clif Burnett

Michael Jackson saga continues by Clif Burnett

The Jackson family is now conducting a second autopsy on the singer's body. First report has Jackson's face severely scarred with cancer growth removal leaving blotches of skin missing. Same report has Jackson with lung cancer that was advancing to the point that vocal chords were inhibited. Jackson thought his contract in London was for 10 shows and fine print was for 50. Jackson was so distraught about his deteriorating condition that included heart disease that he was even reported to be suicidal in some mood swings. Media now is reporting that he was on so many medications for pain and mood swings that his Houston based doctor was using aliases to secure large supplies of prescription drugs for the singer. The mask Jackson is seen wearing was to protect his lungs that were fast developing lung cancer that caused his hoarse talking. Jackson's doctor is now a "person of-interest" as family wants to know more about drugs injected and prescribed to the singer prior to his cardiac arrest. Jackson even used swine flu outbreak to avoid going to London to rehearse and now promoters are struggling with how to repay ticket revenue to ticket holders as it appears the money for tickets is unaccounted for and possibly could have been forwarded to Jackson to finance his lavish lifestyle as he continued to live beyond his means. Family members are now hoping that the "secret 200 songs" archive can be tapped but it's unclear if the songs are written or recorded. Michael Jackson and his saga may eclipse Elvis Presley and his estate may dwarf Elvis Presley estate in value as his worth may skyrocket due to untimely death. It's sad a guy has to die to increase his monetary value.
