Tony Scott Death Officially Ruled a Suicide | Gather

A lot of fans of the famed director, Tony Scott, were holding out hope there was something behind his leap to death off a Los Angeles bridge. Unfortunately, it appears his death was just what it originally seemed -- a suicide.

According to the coroner's report, the director died of multiple blunt force traumas consistent with those he would have received by jumping into the harbour. There was no evidence of other medical problems, despite rumors circulating that Scott was dying from terminal brain cancer.

Scott did have drugs in his system. They included Remeron, an anti-depressant, and Lunesta, a sleep agent. It seems doubtful, however, that they had anything to do with Scott taking his life.

Early reports by eye witnesses claimed that Scott purposefully jumped from the bridge, leading everyone to believe the suicide theory. That seemed further validated by notes that Tony left in his car as well as at his home. What isn't known, however, is what directly triggered the action. That was not addressed in the so-called "suicide notes".

Some claim the highly creative genius probably straddled a line between sanity and insanity for many years. However, there is little evidence to back up such radical thoughts. By all accounts, although sometimes suffering from depression, he showed little signs of being suicidal.

Ultimately, it matters not how Tony Scott died. It only matters that he'll be missed by those who loved him; his family and friends and, of course, brother Ridley Scott. Tony's fans will miss him too!
