I just saw him and his new business partner on Conan O'Brien the other night.

He was going to get his own show, that is how popular he had become - from a guy hawking wares on the boardwalk in Jersey to a controversial TV personality, to becoming a household name capable of carrying his own Cable Show.

Living the dream.

Mays had been aboard a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at Tampa International Airport on June 27, the day before his death. None of the 138 passengers and five crew members were reported to be seriously injured immediately following the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises from falling objects.[2] Mays told the local Tampa TV station that some of the objects "hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."[14] It is unclear whether Mays' death was related to the incident

Ruh rohh...

It's possible Mays could have died from an injury in a jet yesterday.

Foxnews has a clip on their site - a short interview with Mays at the Tampa airport where Mays' plane had a hard landing - Mays said things from the ceiling were dropping, and said "it hit me in the head, but I got a hard head, so" (interview ends)"

TMZ.com also reporting that Mays may not have been wearing his seat belt when the plane landed.

He had pancreatic cancer - it's claimed that he's been cured but that has an extremely high mortality rate.
