Now they're saying Tony Scott did not have an inoperable brain tumor.

I'm back in speculation mode.

Tony Scott did not have inoperable brain cancer, his family says.

The film director committed suicide when he jumped to his death from Vincent Thomas Bridge into the Los Angeles Harbor this weekend.

An autopsy will attempt to help explain his death, but Scott’s family denied reports that brain cancer was a factor.

“The family told us it is incorrect that he has inoperable brain cancer,” Los Angeles chief coroner Craig Harvey said.

1. He had spent the day before his death with Tom Cruise...!....n/t

2. When I first heard he died by jumping, I thought, where in LA is high enough?

This is the only somewhat high bridge in the region, way down near Long Beach, across Los Angeles harbor, nowhere near downtown LA. He had to work to get here.

I was also struck by the drama of it all. There are much more mundane and local ways of killing oneself.
