Was bitten by a pet rattlesnake while helping a friend move.  Didn't get medical treatment and passed in his sleep

I worked with Billy Many Many times!! OMG!! I can't believe this!

This is the saddest news I have heard in a long time. I worked with Billy so many times I can't count! He was such the sweetheart and we had so much fun together! I know that the initial reports are a snake bite and then there are rumors about a drug overdose. I knew him very well. I would never say anything bad about him. He was one of the sweetest people out there. I hope the rumors are wrong. Will keep the rest of his family in my prayers.

Mike South has the REAL story on his website.
