"Today the world has lost a true creative genius and a special man," the filmmaker's brother said in a statement. "I am so proud to have worked together with him."

    Morgan Spurlock was not a great person (history of sexual misconduct) and his documentaries are deeply flawed, but Super Size Me is how I first learned about the federal corn subsidy, which contributed to the process by which fast food gradually became a calorie drenched bizzarro version of itself. So that’s something.

    That’s sad. Clearly the doc in question was a bit dodgy and sounds like other docs he did had issues, but either way that’s super young.
