I also read that Billy was on a flight yesterday that suffered a blown tire upon landing and it was a really rough landing. Billy actually said that something from the plane had hit his head really hard.

According to Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams, Mays "had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of the ventricle which takes blood to the heart." Final results of the autopsy and cause of death will not be known for several weeks. PEOPLE
