[2] Woody Baird, "Officials: Isaac Hayes Died of Stroke", Associated Press, 12 August 2008: "No autopsy was performed, but paperwork filed by Hayes' family physician, Dr. David Kraus, lists the cause of death as a stroke, sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said Tuesday."
[3] Oliver Burkeman, "Isaac Hayes Quits South Park After It Satirises Scientology", The Guardian, 15 March 2006: "Mr Hayes, a Scientologist, provided the voice for Chef, South Park's resident school cook, ladies' man and love doctor." The newspaper also quotes Matt Stone's response to Hayes' leaving the show, "In 10 years and more than 150 episodes Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslims, Mormons and Jews. He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show. To bring the civil rights struggle into this is just a non sequitur. Of course, we will release Isaac from his contract and we wish him well."
