LOS ANGELES TIMES:
"Top Gun" director Tony Scott jumped
to his death from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro on Sunday afternoon. He
was 68.
His body was pulled out of the water by Los Angeles Port Police, who were the
first on the scene.
Several witnesses told police they saw Scott get out of his Toyota Prius, which was parked on the bridge, about 12:30 p.m. Then he scaled an 8- to 10-foot fence and jumped off without any hesitation, law enforcement sources said.

A source said officials looked inside the car and
determined it belonged to the famed action-movie
director and producer. A note listing contact information was inside. A suicide
note was later found in his office. Its contents were not revealed.
