The Oscar-winning director, who was found dead on Tuesday, is said to have
struggled with depression.
STOCKHOLM (AP) – The brother of Malik Bendjelloul has told a Swedish
newspaper that the acclaimed filmmaker behind the documentary Searching for
Sugar Man committed suicide.
Johar Bendjelloul told Swedish daily Aftonbladet on Wednesday that his
younger brother had struggled with depression for a short period of time.
Bendjelloul was found dead in Stockholm on Tuesday.
The filmmaker rose to international fame in 2013 when his debut feature film,
Searching for Sugar Man, won an Oscar for best documentary. The film tells
the story of how Detroit-based singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who had
flopped in the United States, became a superstar in apartheid-era South
Africa without knowing about it.
