Rest in Peace, Tony Scott. Your movies entertained and inspired me.

Me too. Apparently it was witnessed by a number of people on boats. I feel for them too. Horrible thing to see when all you're expecting is a happy afternoon out on the water.
Sad all the way around for too many people.
Apparantly he had inoperable brain cancer

I've got a couple friends who work over at Scot Free and they're justifiably devastated today.

That's been refuted by his family.

Director Tony Scott had no serious medical conditions, coroner says
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/10/director-tony-scott-had-no-medical-condition.html
Director Tony Scott was not suffering from cancer and did not have any serious underlying medical conditions -- including cancer -- at the time of his suicide, chief coroner investigator Craig Harvey said.
Los Angeles County coroner's officials released their final cause of death in the 68-year-old's suicide, finding that he died of multiple blunt-force injuries after leaping from the Vincent Thomas Bridge. The director also had therapeutic levels of the sleep aid Lunestra and the anti-depressant Mirtazipine, also known as Remeron, in his system, according to results of toxicology tests.
Harvey told The Times that investigators found no pre-existing conditions in Scott, based on both the autopsy and medical records.
"There was no evidence of neoplasia -- cancer -- identified," Harvey said.
After Scott's death, some media reports quoted an anonymous source suggesting that Scott had a brain tumor. His family vehemently denied those reports.
Scott jumped off the Vincent Thomas bridge on Aug. 19. His family has not offered any public explanation as to why he took his own life. The coroner's findings also do not help untangle the mystery.

Oof. I always counsel my friends to ignore doctor's orders and not take Ambien or Lunesta unless they're in a hospital. Both of those drugs have legendary effects on the brain, particularly the way the world can be perceived. Specifically, Lunesta is linked to risky, aggressive behavior and suicidal ideation.
I'm not an herbal guy, but I highly recommend melantonin as an alternative. Even then, it's something you take occasionally and not every night.

WOW, I just found out about this.
Not his death but actually who he was. This guy made some of my favorite movies and I didnt even realize it. Unreal.
Thats terrible. My heart goes out to his family. Truly. Im not going to turn this into any sort of commentary because itd be in bad taste, but how can someone with a good family, good life, good career, do something like that? It makes me furious.
