Actually, I just saw something about it on TMZ so we will see how this folds out.

Just searched it and found a few tampa sites mentioning this. Seems like it just was announced so it will be a bit before the major sites start picking it up.

Well that completes the trifecta for the weekend. Sad to hear. I guess you could say he was a celebrity.

Just got through watching the his Discovery show "Pitchmen" and then see the news on Fox News. Shocking. Mays may have been more injured than thought after the tire blew out one the plane he was on yesterday.

The strange thing about this is I watched one of his commercials just before I left for church. I found out when I checked the news when I got home.
