What did he die of, and why was the sheriff reporting it? Usually that only happens when either the death is not natural, or the cops find the body.

What I read so far was that a family member found him at his home. He was found unresponsive next to a treadmill.
Cause of death is yet to be determined.
To: HEY4QDEMS
Is it common practice for the Sheriff’s Office to announce the death?
Bernie Mac’s publicist announced his.
Maybe because Hayes was unexpected.

I'm betting that said treadmill was the culprit.
I can't believe The Duke Of New York is dead.

Condolences to Isaac Hayes family and friends.
I certainly was a fan of his great music.

I wouldn't say it is common practice, but it isn't uncommon.
I'm guessing that 911 was called which undoubtedly got law enforcement involved.
I personally suspect that foul play is not involved.
To: donna
That, in itself, says way more about the female of the species than the male.
And it’s not particularly laudable for either one.

Very sad news, but they could not have transported him to a worse hospital in Memphis.
