Oscar-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, director of the groundbreaking documentary Super Size Me, has died after a private battle with cancer. He was 53.

Spurlock “passed away peacefully in New York surrounded by family and friends” on Thursday, according to a family statement that noted the cause was complications of cancer. Deadline understands he had been undergoing chemotherapy treatment earlier this year.

“It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” said Craig Spurlock, one of the filmmaker’s older brothers. They collaborated on several documentary projects, including Morgan Spurlock Inside Man and 7 Deadly Sins. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas, and generosity. The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him.”

What type of cancer did he have? Could it of been diet related?

I don't know, but it makes me wonder though. Do you remember how many pounds he gained during the filming of Super Size Me?

Wow. RIP. Not as well publicized, but Super Size Me 2 was a good doc as well. Showed factory farming as a giant monopoly with controlling interests.

 

[stephen90]

Dude was secrectly drinking throughout the movie which is partly why his liver was so fucked.

 

[Dizzy]

Could go for some McDonalds today.

 

[revoltub]

Damn RIP. He seemed like a cool guy.

Super size me was really a great documentary and the sequel Holy Chicken was very good too.

 

[Beechwood]

I didn't watch this film but remember how popular it was with many. RIP, 53 is much to young to pass from cancer.

If I were to develop cancer I have a plan sort of worked out on various ideas I'd try. I'd likely see a cancer specialist, but also would likely try taking fenbendazole also known as fenben to see if it would help me also.

Might want to read a little bit about that movie sir.
I heard somewhere that they were fudging the numbers or something of that sort.

If I can find it I'll send you the link.

R.I.P sir.

I honestly don't think I've been to McDonald in the last year.

I honestly don't think I've been to McDonald in the last year.

You should fix that.

You should fix that.

Honestly yes,
1/4 lbs with nuggets would be amazing after 3-4 beers this wknd

I think it was a gain of 25 pounds in a month. I was just reading up on him and he seemed to have a problem with alcohol.

Sacrificed a third of his life to remind retards that eating grease for 30 days straight probably isn’t great for your health. A martyr in a world of idiocy.

It's probably just a coincidence.

What about di OG who be eating Big Macs daily he still around?

His T.V. show "30 days" was great as well. It's where I learned that Muslims, Jews, and Christians all worship the same God.

R.I.P. to a man who opened up a LOT of eyes.

He gained like 20 something lbs, but his ending weight wasn't much above 200, and that was over 20 years ago.

I think he said something about not being sober for more than a week from age 13 into his mid 40s, which probably does a lot more damage than eating hamburgers for a couple weeks 20 years ago. Or it could be neither and just be genetic or something else.
