Isaac Hayes found unresponsive on floor, treadmill still running

The legendary deep-voiced singer-songwriter was found unresponsive -- near a running treadmill -- in his home outside Memphis, Tenn., early Sunday morning.

In 10 days, he would have turned 66.

A Shelby County sheriff’s deputy responded to Hayes’ home after his wife found him on the floor near a still operating treadmill.

He was taken to Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead at 2:08 a.m. The Shelby County Sheriff's Department is investigating, but no foul play is suspected

The singer-songwriter, musician, producer, arranger, composer and actor earned Academy Awards in 1972 for best original song and score for "Theme from Shaft." He also won a Grammy in 1972 for the album "Black Moses." He was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
