I submitted the Wikipedia link so we could take a moment to learn a little from his life's work. After all, this may be the last time most of us hear about Billy Mays.

That's an excellent idea! However, I posted the AP source to official confirm this tragic news.

"It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

Makes you wonder if the plane accident and the mysterious death hours later are related.

As a hacker, I'd like to believe in cause and effect. Finding out what caused these recent high profile deaths won't make them any less tragic, but may make the world a little less scary.
