Director Tony Scott is dead at 68

The director of last year's "Unstoppable" as well as mega hits like "Top Gun" and "Beverly Hills Cop II" apparently committed suicide by jumping from LA's Vincent Thomas Bridge. It's unknown at this time what would have driven him to such and act and the Scott family has understandably asked for privacy at this difficult time.

Tony Scott was the brother of Ridley Scott and together the two ran Scott Free Productions that produced high budget films (including "Prometheus"), innumerable tv commercials and tv series such as NUMB3RS. Scott leaves a wife and two sons.
