"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.

Thats very ignorant of you. You don't know what situation he's in. Maybe he has cancer, maybe all of his family is gone and he's lonely. Maybe he suffers a painful disorder causing him to see demons around him, and he just couldn't take it anymore.

Seriously, what you just said is fucking stupid.

I -repped you with good reason. If you begin to follow me and -rep me as well, this would be revenge rep and rep abuse.
I will report you.

@Prestige™ and Juicy

Stop fighting. Seriously, Prestige juicy did have good reason to -rep you. If you were to -rep all of juicy's posts. This would be rep abuse, and I WILL ban you for it.

If you disagree with what Juicy said, simply reply with your reasons, and -rep him if you feel it's necessary. There's no need to -rep every single post he makes.

That really stinks for his family and him, I wonder why people do this.

I don't mean to sound like a **** but why was his story posted? Thousands of other people commit suicide, they don't get a news article dedicated for them.
