Is it true that tidal forces near a stellar-mass black hole would stretch and kill a human before they crossed the event horizon?

Yes. A reference article states that in realistic stellar black holes tidal forces tear materials apart well before the event horizon, and a physics discussion derives that tidal ripping occurs prior to horizon crossing for black holes below roughly 10,000 solar masses. An educational paper also confirms black hole tidal forces cause spaghettification.
