Morgan Spurlock, the documentarian behind "Super Size Me," has passed away from cancer. He was 53.

"It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan," his brother Craig Spurlock told Variety.

"Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas and generosity. Today the world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him."

This is the guy who ate McDonalds, morning, day & night for 30 days and developed liver complications from it.. 🤔

There's simply no denying the amount of people dropping at a younger age than usual post-covid and I'll just leave it at that

even before, "deaths of despair" were through the roof, and even that is under-reported with suicides being "heart-attacks", etc..

There's a video out there about how he fudged some things to get the movie to look the way he wanted it to.
