The funeral for Billy Mays, the TV advertiser and star of the Discovery show "Pitchmen," will be held Friday in Pittsburgh, the Washington Post reports. There was speculation earlier in the week that Mays death had something to do with head trauma caused by a rough airplane landing, but this was ruled out when Medical Examiner ruled the likely cause of death was heart disease.
Reality TV World reports that Discovery will air a marathon of Mays show "Pitchmen," a show which follows Mays and fellow salesman Anthony "Sully" Sullivan as they attempt to sell various inventions and products to people. The Discovery Channel also announced they are planning a tribute show for Mays in the near future.
Mays was found dead by his wife in their Florida home on Sunday.
