Vale: Morgan Spurlock

Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, best known for his documentary Super Size Me, has died.

Gonzo filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, best known for his documentary Super Size Me, has died aged 53.

He died on Thursday in New York from complications related to cancer, according to a family statement.

“It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” Craig Spurlock, said.

“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.”

Spurlock’s 2004 documentary Super Size Me exposed the fast-food industry, famously eating only at McDonald’s for a month to illustrate the dangers of a fast-food diet.

In 2019 he followed with Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! — a look at an industry that processes 9 billion animals a year in America.

There was also Meet The Hitlers, American Takedown, and 7 Deadly Sins.

In 2017 Spurlock confessed to sexual harassment and infidelity, saying he had been accused of rape.
