A second autopsy requested by the family of infomercial king Billy Mays found cocaine did not contribute to his death, as the first autopsy stated.
Dr. William Manion said there was nothing to suggest he was a heavy drug user. The report stated, "The autopsy specimens and findings are not consistent with the cardiac conditions normally observed in a person chronically using cocaine."
Dr. Manion said if cocaine use had been a major factor, Mays death would have been deemed accidental instead of natural in the official autopsy report. Widow Deborah Mays said the second autopsy proves the first autospy was wrong.
Mrs. Mays said in a statement, "Although we cannot undo the damage that has already been done to Billy's reputation, we are hopeful that this information will assist in clearing the name of a good husband, father and friend."
The super loud pitchman who hawked OxiClean, Orange Glo, Mighty Putty and other products was found dead by his wife in their Tampa, Florida condo in June. Toxicology tests uncovered cocaine in his system.
Officials said Mays also had powerful prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs in his system, along with alcohol.
Outraged by the report, the Mays family ordered an independent autopsy in the hopes of clearing his reputation. Deborah Mays said in another statement, "This has been a very difficult period for our family and we appreciate the continued support that Billy's many fans have extended. We again thank these fans and the members of the media who have respected our family's privacy."
If you don't like the first answer, keep trying until you get the answer you want to hear is my assumption from this report.
