To add to article

[edit]

To add to this article: which type of cancer he died from. 98.123.38.211 (talk) 15:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This information has not been released by the family at this time. They may release it at a later date. Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is important to note that his death is from "complications of cancer" not cancer itself. It can be difficult to determine the exact cause of death as complications of cancer could mean bone metastasis pain, hypercalcemia, and venous thromboembolism. As per noted in the previous comment, the type of cancer has not be publisized. Jurisdicta (talk) 18:41, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems he was a severe lifelong alcoholic, and the family may give more information relating to the cause of his death and his health. Spurlock has talked about his severe drinking problem since 2017 so that might be added to the article. Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Death

[edit]

Is it fair to speculate his 30 days of eating McDonald's caused his, unfortunate and early, death? 206.84.252.154 (talk) 19:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not fair to speculate, as there is not a factual link between eating fast food for 30 days and dying of cancer. I would say his lifetime alcohol addiction (of which he speaks about in his 2017 Twitter post) is more likely the cause of his death, and his liver complications seen in the 2004 documentary, "Supersize Me". He stated that he was never sober for more than a week, and had been drinking since the age of 13. 73.73.196.31 (talk) 21:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. I had no idea. Thank you for clarifying. 206.84.252.154 (talk) 15:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair question. I'd say if it took 20 years for a 30 day Micky D's bender to catch up with him, then he still wasn't doing too bad. 2600:1700:F0A0:2430:AE1F:38E3:2707:F480 (talk) 02:20, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
