Ya I just read this on MSN 5 minutes ago. Pretty damn crazy. A hard landing on his flight made stuff fall and clock him in the head. They are saying its far fetched but hey that one actress died when she hit her head skiing on the bunny hill so anything is possible.

I guess getting that private jet wasn't such a good idea. I can't stand the gut but it was neat to watch the show.

I read today that it was heart failure and not a head injury. He had hardened arteries the report also said, and he was taking medication for that. I'm thinking wether he hit his head or not, his number was going to be up soon.

Sad indeed.

Anyone else watch the tribute episode to him?

It was last night at 9:00 on Discovery...basically all about his life, family, friends, etc... It sounded like he was a really great guy, I would have really liked to have met him in real life. :(

One of his producers recalled a quote that billy made up a while ago that I thought was cool: "at the end of life, its not the guy with the most toys who wins, its the guy with the most stories". So true!!
