It is with great sadness that we report the passing of acclaimed filmmaker Morgan Spurlock at the age of 53. Spurlock, best known for his documentary “Super Size Me,” passed away from complications of cancer.
In his groundbreaking 2004 documentary, Spurlock famously ate McDonald’s food every day for 30 days to highlight the effects of fast food on the human body. At the end of the experiment, Spurlock’s cholesterol levels skyrocketed by 65 points and he gained a significant amount of weight.
While the exact cause of Spurlock’s death has not been confirmed, reports indicate that he had been battling cancer in recent years. The news of his passing has sent shockwaves through the film industry and beyond, as fans and colleagues mourn the loss of a talented and innovative filmmaker.
Spurlock’s contributions to the world of documentary filmmaking will always be remembered, and his work will continue to inspire future generations of filmmakers. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
