Billy Mays Sudden Death Due to Heart Disease
Though initial reports hinted
that the sudden death of Billy Mays may have been a result of a hard knock to the head, the
preliminary autopsy found that heart disease is likely the true culprit.
Mays, of Oxiclean fame, was
pronounced dead at his home on Sunday morning. The Hillsborough County Medical
Examiner stated that Mays "had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of
the ventricle which takes blood to the heart" consistent with "hypertensive and arteriosclerotic disease of the heart."
High blood pressure increases the heart's work,
which can cause the heart muscle to thicken over time.
