Isaac Hayes, the deep-voiced soul vocaliser and South Park headliner, died from a throw related to high blood pressure, Memphis authorities said.
Hayes, 65, wHO once described himself as a "health fanatic," was being toughened for high blood pressure and had suffered a non-fatal stroke last year.
His body was found next to a running salt mine on Sunday in his Memphis home, and at that place was no indication he had hit his head or suffered any psychic trauma, according to the Shelby County Medical Examiner, Dr David Kraus, who all over Hayes died from a stroke.
"The Hayes family is comfortable with Dr Kraus' recommendation to not direct an postmortem examination," said a statement from the Shelby County Sheriff, in Memphis.
Hayes, who was born in Tennessee, wrote for a stable of stars at Memphis
