Television pitchman Billy Mays probably died of a heart attack in his sleep, but further tests are needed to be sure of the cause of death, a medical examiner said yesterday. Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams said Mays suffered from hypertensive heart disease, and the wall of the left ventricle of Mays’ heart and the wall of one of his arteries were enlarged. Mays, 50, known for hawking OxiClean, was found dead Sunday by his wife in their Tampa condominium. An official cause of death will be issued after toxicology and other tests are completed in eight to 10 weeks. (AP)
