Via CNN:
Malik Bendjelloul, the Oscar-winning director of "Searching for Sugar Man," died suddenly on Tuesday, police said. He was 36.
No crime is suspected in the filmmaker's death, Stockholm Police Sgt. Janne Gyllstedt told CNN.
Gyllstedt would not specify the cause of death and said he was unable to disclose any additional information.
"Searching for Sugar
Man," Bendjelloul's critically acclaimed film about singer Sixto
Rodriguez, won an Academy Award for best documentary last year. The
documentary tells the story of Rodriguez, a singer from Detroit who
never gained fame in America but became -- somehow -- a legend in South
Africa.
"This is the best story I ever heard in my life," the director said of his decision to make the movie.
Very sad...our thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Bless.
