Tony Scott, the man in the director chair of classic motion picture hits like Top Gun and Days of Thunder, was found dead earlier today, subsequently to jumping off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro.
Given the circumstances of his death, a suicide seems like the most likely reason for his passing, but the official investigation is currently zooming in on the details, such as a note that Scott had left inside his Prius, which was parked on the bridge.
