Billy Mays' death linked to cocaine use
TV salesman Billy Mays, who was a spokesperson for OxiClean and died on June 28, had ingested cocaine days before his heart stopped and the drug contributed to his death, the Hillsborough County medical examiner said in a report on Friday.
Toxicology tests uncovered cocaine in his system.
Hays died from a lethal arrhythmia of the heart caused by hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease, the county said in a statement attributed to Dr. Leszek Chrostowski.
Mays was found dead by his wife in their condo in Tampa, Florida.
