He was only 68. He may have had health problems.

Thanks BWP, I'd been wondering if it might have been something like that - something terminal. It is sad and we really need an acceptable alternative for people in that position.

True Romance though was his best film---Quentin Tarrantino wrote the script for that one and originally wanted to direct it himself, but even he remarked that he though Tony Scott did a great job with that film.

I heard this report on the radio yesterday afternoon that someone had jumped off of the Vincent Thomas Bridge. It doesn't happen often but when someone jumps off that bridge they absolutely don't want to be stopped.
Terminal, inoperable brain cancer.
He checked out the way he wanted, before cancer got him.
He made big movies, and he went out the way he wanted, - the director.

Tragic.  My favorite film of his was "True Romance". Condolences to his family. |

Now news reports are saying he didn't have brain cancer.
I guess the guy just had enough.
