Well, Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett were very sick, Michael Jackson
was hooked on drugs and Billy Mays got hit in the head.

Using McMahon's expiry date, we still have all day Tuesday before the
entire week is up. Let's see if Patrick Swayze can hold on. Oh.
Speaking of holding on to one's self... David Carradine died with rope
around his neck on one end and around his genitals on the other end on
June 3, 2009.
What will July bring us? Chris Brown falls into an active volcano????
lol

How does Liz Taylor still hang on? Or Joan Rivers? Why oh why Billy
Mays? I'll miss his screaming at me when he was on TV. It's amazing
how some of these stars that are near deaths door step hang on...I
guess they know what faces them when they do die.

That's what I was wondering, and I then I realized that I was thinking
of the late Gale Gordon, Lucille Ball's male sidekick in her later
years.

I was so over Lucy by that time. I remember him for Our Miss Brooks. Maybe
it was Eve Arden (died c 1990) I was thinking of.

threes...but trust Billy Mays to throw in an extra AT NO ADDITIONAL
COST."

a bunch of that super-strength Silly Putty and I get "free bonus"
super sharp scissors to cut it to the exact length... just pay S&H
(how they GOUGE you!). Can I say no? Maybe I don't WANT a 2nd Mighty
Auger. Am I *forced* to accept it and pay the additional shipping and
handling charge, or can I go say "F.U." and reject their "generous"
offer?
If the answer is no, the FTC should really get on that and make such
forced acceptance illegal.
Billy Mays was a crook. Why I don't wish him dead, I wouldn't exactly
cry a river if The Video Professor croaked next.

In Mays case, the M.E. has ruled he died of heart failure caused by
long-term heart disease. The getting hit on the head a couple of days
earlier was apparently an unrelated coincidence.
People do die, and no mystery necessarily surrounds that. McMahon,
Fawcett, Travelana, and Mays all died from pre-existing medical conditions
for which they were under treatment, while Storm was 87 and in a
convalescent home when she died. Jackson certainly had pre-existing
medical conditions, most notably vitiligo and lupus, we'll probably hear
more about whether any of them contributed to, or led to, his death when
the autopsy results are made public.
