MTV pitchman Billy Mays dies suddenly

The 50-year-old Discovery Channel "Pitchmen" star had just filmed an OxiClean commercial Saturday when he hit his head aboard a U.S. Airways flight that landed with a blown tire. He was feeling fine, until this morning, when his wife found him unresponsive. The FAA claims the TV pitchman wasn't wearing a seatbelt when the plane landed.
