Singer Issac Hayes is dead at the age of 65. Hayes is best known for the title song from the movie "Shaft" and most recently as the voice of the character "Chef" on the cartoon South Park.
Relatives found Hayes, 65, unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill, said Steve Shular, a spokesman for the Shelby County Sheriff's Department. Paramedics attempted to revive him and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 p.m., the sheriff's department said. No foul play is suspected, the agency said in a written statement. (article)
