Toxicology report states that cocaine may have played a role in Billy Mays' death

It seems as if there were traces of the breakdown products of cocaine as well as other drugs in his system upon his death.

From the article, "The autopsy also found low concentrations of ethyl alcohol "consistent with social consumption of a few beverages" as well as the narcotic drugs hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol. Mays had prescriptions for the drugs -- which were found in therapeutic or subtherapeutic concentrations -- to ease hip pain.

In addition, the tests found evidence of two tranquilizers -- alprazolam (Xanax) and diazepam (Valium) -- which are commonly prescribed for a variety of ailments, including anxiety and insomnia. Both drugs were determined to be in therapeutic or subtherapeutic concentrations."

The high-powered pitchman had his problems, just like the rest of us. I feel sorry for his family. This must be a trying time for them.
