MEMPHIS, Tennessee (AFP) - American funk-soul legend and Academy Award-award winning musician Isaac Hayes was found dead Sunday at his home in Memphis, Tennessee, officials said. He was 65. The talented singer, songwriter and composer, who won the Oscar in 1972 for best original song for the theme from "Shaft," was found unresponsive at his house by family members, Shelby county sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular told AFP. Hayes was discovered at about 1:00 pm (1800 GMT) collapsed on the floor of a bedroom in his home next to a treadmill that was still running, he said. "We don't believe there was any foul play," Shular said. "Based on the statements by family members that Mr. Hayes had been treated of late for a number of medical issues, we believe that led to his death today. There are no plans for an autopsy." Hayes suffered a stroke in early 2006. PS: For those who don't know who he is,you will know him best for his works as the voice actor for Chef on south park. Also i know i spelled his name wrong in title. RIP Mr. Hayes
Its a real shame, I know feel really bad about laughing at that episode of southpark with Chef joining that super adventure club and then he gets "killed off" ='(
