Autopsy: Cocaine a Factor in Billy Mays' Death
Posted Aug 7th 2009 4:33PM by TMZ Staff

A mighty shocking autopsy report concludes cocaine contributed to the sudden death of pitchman Billy Mays back in June.

The report, which was released today, lists "cocaine use" as contributing cause of death -- along with hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease.

A Hillsborough County press release says "from the presence of metabolites of cocaine and the absence of cocaine itself, it was concluded that Mr. Mays used cocaine in the few days prior to his death but not immediately prior to death."

Mays died in his sleep on June 28 at his home in Florida.

UPDATE: Official documents show the following drugs were in Mays' system -- hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (painkiller), alprazolam (Xanax), nordiazepam (Valium), benzoylecgonine (byproduct of cocaine) and temazepam (anti-anxiety). Ethanol -- alcohol -- was also in Mays' system.

Wow, I wonder if another doctor will be held accountable for all those RX.  Maybe, he was doctor shopping for meds too??  Just all those meds alone is scary enough....then add cocaine!!   

Hi Mytime!! 

   I read your post before.  See why I never stray from the comfort of my own cage??   

Ah, you are wise beyond your years!!

It was self inflicted.  She was having a chocolate craving and she nothing but a decorative candy jar. She has had it for years and she ate the M&M's from it!
