'Top Gun' director Tony Scott dead after jumping off bridge

"Top Gun" director Tony Scott fatally jumped off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro on Sunday afternoon, according to Los Angeles police sources.

His body was pulled out of the water by Los Angeles Police Department, California Highway Patrol and U.S. Coast Guard officials.

[For the record, 9:48 p.m. Aug. 19: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said a suicide note was found in Scott's car, which was parked on the bridge. In fact, the note found in his car listed contact information. Investigators later found a suicide note at his office.]

Law enforcement sources said several witnesses saw Scott, the brother of director Ridley Scott, climb over a fence on the bridge and jump off.

The coroner's office identified him Sunday evening.

True Romance is one of my all-time favorite movies.
 
Tony Scott also directed the greatest commercial of all time, the BMW short film Beat the Devil.

Crazy, the guy's got twin teenage boys and a movie coming out this year (and some of Timothy Leary's ashes in his bathroom) : I'll be very interested to get the backstory on this one. :(

"Spy Game" is one of my all-time favorites.

Maybe he suffered from depression. That can really do a number on people. I've known people that suffer from it, smart, successful but live with this void, this unseen force that constantly gnaws.

Just another piece in the conspiracy against Penn State.

Heard on the radio that he had inoperable brain cancer. Just hope he didn't void out any kind of life insurance policy he might have had in place for his family.

I can't imagine his family needing the life insurance to get by. Dude had to have been a multi-millionaire. Besides, I'm sure Uncle Ridley can help as well.
