I just read recently that Canadian director Ryan Nicholson has passed away (Brain tumor) October 9, 2019 at the age of 47. Nicholson was mostly known for his controversial horror comedy Gutterballs (2008).
Nicholson was defending himself on social media in 2018 after being accused of keeping all the money from a gofundme page for his unfinished Gutterballs 2 sequel.
I've never actually seen Gutterballs but I've seen it mentioned lots on message boards over the years. Anyway, RIP.
