, the director of films including Super Size Me and Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? died on Thursday aged 53.
His family announced in a statement that he “passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends in New York from complications of cancer.” His brother Craig Spurlock said: “It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan. 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 with him.”Super Size Me, in which Spurlock ate only McDonald’s for a month, was nominated for best documentary at the Academy Awards.
Spurlock also directed the TV show The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!, shown in 2010. Arguably his most successful TV work was the FX series 30 Days, which ran between 2005 and 2008, in which participants took on an unlikely task or lifestyle, such as a devout Christian living with a Muslim family, or Spurlock himself living on minimum wage.
