Tony Scott

                                                          

Uno de los grandes directores del siglo XX nos ha dejado. Parece que ha sido un suicidio. ¡Lástima! Gracias por esas estupendas horas que nos ha hecho pasar en la pantalla grande. Adiós Sr. Scott. Hubiéramos disfrutado más tiempo juntos, pero parece que su sufrimiento no se lo permitió. Por un merecido descanso.
Yo siempre recordaré entre tantos títulos: "El último Boy Scout".

Anthony David "Tony" Scott (21 June 1944 – 19 August 2012) was a British film director. His films include The Hunger, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, Days of Thunder, The Last Boy Scout, True Romance, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, Spy Game, Man on Fire, Déjà Vu, The Taking of Pelham 123, and Unstoppable. Scott's films were generally more popular with audiences than critics. He was the younger brother of fellow film director Ridley Scott.

On 19 August 2012, at approximately 12:30 p.m. PST, Scott committed suicide by jumping off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the San Pedro port district of Los Angeles, California. Investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department’s harbour division found contact information in his car, which was parked near the bridge, along with a suicide note. Witnesses said he did not hesitate before jumping. His body was taken from the water by the Los Angeles Port Authority. Independent sources have suggested that Scott's suicide was caused by a recent diagnosis of inoperable brain cancer.

Scott is survived by his wife, Donna Wilson Scott, and their twin sons, Frank and Max, born in 2000.
