Tony Scott R.I.P
Sad news this afternoon that acclaimed movie director Tony Scott has committed suicide.
TMZ.com's reporting the director jumped from a bridge in LA - according to the LA County coroner.
The site says:
U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Jennifer Osburn said a suicide note was found in Scott's Toyota Prius, which was parked on one of the eastbound lanes of the bridge.
Scott directed such films as "Top Gun," "Beverly Hills Cop II," "Enemy of the State," and "The Taking of Pelham 123."
Authorities used sonar equipment to find Scott's body in the port's murky waters. His body was recovered at approximately 4:30pm ... four hours after he jumped.
His body has since been turned over to coroner officials."
Scott is of course famed for a whole stack of movies - including Top Gun, Man On Fire, Unstoppable, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, Enemy of the State and Crimson Tide.
He'd recently been announced as director of Top Gun 2.
