The above is comedy, but I do not think BM would mind!

This has to be horrible for his family— an absolute nightmare. Top it off with an autopsy. Hard to take in.

Are you saying this story is a hoax?

No. I totally blew that. Had multiple tabs open, and was trying to link to the one posted already on BM. Sorry about the confusion.

Why the link to a hoax article? This is from Fox News Entertainment via Tampa. Is it also a hoax?

Wow I have watched a couple episodes of hisreality show “Pitchmen” on Discovery and he seemed like a nice enough guy and good old fashioned American entrepraneur. He appeared to have a good relationship with his college age son who was following in his footsteps as a commercial director. Sad day for infomercial land.

Saw speculation he may have sustained a head injury from the rough landing at TPA. No corroboration.
