#MorganSpurlock, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind groundbreaking documentaries like “Super Size Me” and “Where In the World Is Osama Bin Laden?” died on Thursday. He was 53 years old.

Spurlock’s family announced the news on Friday morning, revealing that he died in New York after complications from cancer, while surrounded by family and friends.

“It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” Craig Spurlock, who worked with Morgan on multiple projects, said in a statement. “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 first achieved worldwide recognition after his 2004 documentary “Super Size Me,” which followed Spurlock as he temporarily changed his diet to consist solely of fast food, and chronicled the changes he saw in his health.

The film marked a huge shift in the conversation about fast food in America, and earned Spurlock an Oscar nomination. The movie is still shown and taught in schools today.
