Isaac Hayes Dead At 65 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

YoliUSA · 08-10-2008, 04:23 PM

From MSN.com

Soul singer and musician Isaac Hayes has died, according to Memphis TV station WMC-TV. He was 65.

The station's Web site attributes the report to Shelby County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Shular, saying a sheriff's deputy was called to Hayes' home after the singer's wife found him on the floor near a treadmill.

WMC-TV goes on to say Hayes was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08am. An investigation into the death is continuing, the station says.

Hayes was also known to millions as the voice of soulful cafeteria worker Chef on the animated "South Park." He left the show in 2006 after a dispute over the show's treatment of Scientology. Hayes had been a Scientologist since the mid 1990s.

It's a shame.

Mr. Hayes did a great job with the soundtrack to Shaft in 1971. RIP, Mr. Hayes.

Guys, this is a little spooky - Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, along with Samuel L. Jackson, *just* finished wrapping a movie together not all that long ago titled Soul Men. Was supposed to hit theaters in November.

Hollow · 08-10-2008, 06:54 PM

This is sad. Another man too young to die. Tim Russert, Tony Snow, Bernie Mac, and now Isaac Hayes. All good men, gone too soon.

Mr. Television · 08-10-2008, 08:25 PM
