/*Billy Mays*/, 50, was found dead at his home in Tampa, Fla. on June 28, where a medical examiner says he likely died of a heart attack, though test results to confirm that are pending.

Mays shot commercials, the last for OxiClean, until a few days before his death. Known for his jet black hair and beard, Mays developed his yell-and-sell technique hawking products on Atlantic City's Boardwalk in 1983.

Mays funeral is scheduled Friday at 9:30 a.m.
