UDPATE – 6/30 – HERE IS THE FUNERAL LOCATION

Original Story Below

Local Pittsburgh CB2 KDKA reports “The Mays family says funeral arrangements are not complete, but they expect to plan a fitting ceremony.” No further details have yet been revealed by the family.

Mays died Sunday in Tampa. He was 50 years old.

Billy Mays’ rise as a pitchman came in 1993 in Pittsburgh when he was hired to promote cleaning products – OxiClean, Orange Clean, Orange Glo, and Kaboom. His signature opener was  “Hi – Billy Mays here for …”

In April this year, Mays came to TV audiences in a new format – a Discovery Channel series called Pitchmen. LALATE featured several of his episodes. And yes, they were hugely read stories about LALATE readers.

On April 22, shortly after the show’s premiere, it was The Dual Saw episode covered on LALATE that readers loved.

On Monday, the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Vernard Adams ruled Mays’ likely cause of death was heart disease:

“[Mays] had an enlarged heart, a thickening of the wall of the ventricle which takes blood to the heart.”

The report found Mays had “hypertensive and arteriosclerotic disease of the heart”.

Billy Mays will be greatly missed. Send your love.

MAP. Below is a map of Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels where Farrah Fawcett funeral arrangements will be held. Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels will hold Farrah Fawcett’s funeral privately Tuesday, yet thousands of fans are expected to come to the stunning downtown Los Angeles facility.

As broke last week on LALATE, Farrah Fawcett funeral arrangements will be handled by longtime partner Ryan O’Neal.

Farrah will be laid to rest among invited guests at 4 p.m. local time in Los Angeles June 30. Yet the hour the ceremony will begin has not been released to press. Fawcett passed last Thursday at age 62.

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is described as follows:

Standing in the midst of downtown Los Angeles, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels serves the total Archdiocese of over 4 million Catholics. As the heart of all 287 Parish Churches and communities, it is the place where the Archbishop celebrates the major Liturgies of the year with clergy, religious and laity.

The Cathedral serves as a “model Church for all Parish Churches” in the style and content of its liturgical celebrations. In design, art and furnishings, the Cathedral is rich in cultural diversity in a city in which Sunday Mass is celebrated in 42 different languages. In these first five years, the Cathedral has welcomed countless pilgrims and visitors. Thank you for being a part of the Cathedral’s success story!

The Cathedral normally closes at 6pm on Tuesdays.

That “leaked” Michael Jackson autopsy report is reportedly a fake!

A “leaked” Michael Jackson autopsy report was the headline in a British tabloid Monday. The Sun claimed Jackson’s was bald, covered with needle wounds, bruises, and had broken ribs in a leaked report it had obtained.

A subsequent report says the “report” is totally fabricated.

Bald, emaciated, disfigured, 112 pounds, are among the claims the British tabloid had run. But a later story Monday morning calls the Sun’s allegations and the report completely “fabricated” and “false.

What is correct is the following:
1. The complete Los Angeles coroner’s autopsy report won’t be finished for 4-6 weeks
2. The Jackson family has ordered an independent third party autopsy report to be conducted. Its timeline for completion is yet unknown.
