New Delhi: 68-year-old Tony Scott, who directed more than 15 films like ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Unstoppable’, jumped from a bridge in Los Angeles on Sunday. Many people witnessed Tony Scott climbing the eight foot fence and jumping from the bridge.
As the bridge is a popular shooting location among action directors, many people thought that Scott was a stuntman. Now, the witnesses have come forward with mobile phone videos and photographs of the incident and want to sell it to the media organisations.
Director Tony Scott loved fast cars, riding fast motorcycles and creating some of the most memorable action sequences of the past quarter century. He was even planning a sequel to his hit ‘Top Gun’. Reason behind Scott committing suicide is still not known.
On Sunday, police removed the director's body from Los Angeles Harbor hours after they say he stopped his car on the towering Vincent Thomas Bridge and jumped. His death stunned friends and fans and left Hollywood buzzing about what could have prompted one of the industry's more successful filmmakers to take an 18-story leap to his death.
