Super Size Me documentary maker dies aged 53

Documentary maker Morgan Spurlock, who famously ate only at McDonald's for a month in Super Size Me, has died.

Spurlock died from complications of cancer at the age of 53 in New York, his family confirmed in a statement.

Craig Spurlock, the filmmaker's brother, said: "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 rose to fame with his 2004 documentary Super Size Me, where he exclusively ate at McDonald's for 30 days to investigate the rise of obesity in the US.
