Isaac Hayes died Sunday, August 10th at his Memphis home. The Dr. of Soul Music was found by Paramedics lying next to a running treadmill after responding to a 911 call.

Dr. David Kraus’ Hayes family physician has given the cause of death as a stroke. Apparently Issac had suffered a stroke in 2006 and was being treated for high blood pressure.

We all know he was a regular on the controversial cartoon South Park. Very well known for his soul music and the ever so famous Shaft soundtrack.

He had recently finished work on Soul Men, an upcoming film starring Samuel Jackson and Bernie Mac. Sadly Bernie Mac also died this weekend.

Issac’s family have made funeral arrangements for Monday, August 18th in Cordova, Tennessee. They also released a statement saying they had been: “overwhelmed with the outpouring of support and love from Isaac’s dear friends, colleagues and fans from every corner of the world, and we thank each and every one of them for their kind thoughts and prayers.”
