      Brother of Ridley Scott who has some solid movie on his resume as well. Hard to understand why anyone would commit suicide, let alone someone of this nature.

      Heard that a few hours after I made my post. Makes a little more sense, very sad either way.

      Brain cancer rumor refuted: Coroner says filmmaker's family ruled out cancer in his suicide | Reuters

      The family of "Top Gun" director Tony Scott told medical examiners the British-born filmmaker did not have brain cancer or any serious illness when he jumped to his death from a suspension bridge, a Los Angeles County Coroner Department official said on Tuesday.

      Craig Harvey, operations chief for the coroner, also said Monday's autopsy revealed Scott, 68, had no obvious signs of a brain tumor. More lab tests are needed to rule out any microscopic traces of cancer that would have been too minute for a physician to detect while Scott was alive.

      "The family told us it is incorrect that he had inoperable brain cancer," Harvey said, adding that "they advised us ... he had no serious medical issues."
