However for Tony_Scott, death was the objective. www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4496022/Top-Gun-film-director-Tony-Scott-dies-after-jumping-off-LA-bridge.html
Its never a pleasant sight to be driving over a bridge & then seeing someone jump off the side of it.
Or being in a boat seeing the falling person crash into the water.

Some earlier reports implied that Tony Scott may have jumped to avoid the effects of terminal brain cancer.

Only an extensive autopsy will determine if there was any looming disease.

Some reports state that TS didn't appear to have any serious medical condition at the time.

Many people wonder what the motive could have been, for a man that might have otherwise lived another couple of decades.

A lot of people regularly visit the very informative TMZ and IMDB, but for those that don't know there is also TTL,
The Twilight Language
at, http://copycateffect.blogspot.com/2012/08/tony-scott.html
TTL continues to provide riveting observations about the many layers of reality.
Ernest_Borgnine & Phyllis_Diller lived to the age of 95, so under the best possible conditions, TS might have been able to have lived for another 25 years. Then again, many people don't even make it to 40 or 50, due to various factors, including suicide.
