At least he died in his sleep instead of something traumatic like in front of the cameras.

And if you watched Pitchmen, its not like he wasnt smart. He only would promote a product that worked and was a good legit product. Its awkward to see him since hes a figure you didnt think was going to die so suddenly.

Discovery Channel is running a marathon tribute to him and the season finale tonight.

I just saw an old Mythbusters episode on my DVR from 6/24 and saw a commercial about a new Pitchmen and Billy was dealing with bugs. Maybe the bugs killed him! Something poisonous maybe?
