MYFOXNY.COM - An autopsy for TV pitchman Billy Mays finds that cocaine use contributed to his sudden death.

The Hillsborough County medical examiner's office says Mays had last used cocaine days before his death and that although Mays died from heart disease, cocaine use was a contributing cause of death. The medical examiner initially thought Mays likely died of a heart attack but ordered further tests............

.......Mays was also taking the prescription painkillers ******** and hydrocodone for hip pain.

I wonder why the BBS software changes the name of the painkiller to a line of asterisks?
It's not like Tràmadol is a dirty word, is it?

Going out on a limb here but I'd be willing to bet that it's because the board has been hit with spammers in the past after someone posted the painkiller's name. The webmasters can establish which words they want to censor.

That'd be my guess, too.

strange enough I saw him pimping some kind of health care on tv the other day.
Seems like I've seen him more since he passed then beforehand.. or maybe I just notice more now
