    More sad news to report.

    Isaac Hayes has passed away.

    The legendary musician died early Sunday morning at his home in Memphis, Tennessee.

    His wife found him on the floor near a treadmill inside his home. He was was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08 a.m.

    Many might known Isaac from his music. Younger readers might know him best as the voice of "Chef" on South Park, a role he left because it conflicted with his Scientology beliefs.

    Hayes was 65.
