Tony Scott Suicide Footage For Sale, Shows His Climb and Jump by Onlookers
On the day that respected director Tony Scott committed suicide by jumping off a bridge in California, many onlookers at the scene captured the entire event unfold on their cell phone cameras. Many websites are now shopping around and trying to get their hands on the footage, both images and videos. However, the footage is being sold for a price, TMZ reported exclusively.
One shot shows Scott crouched the moment he began to jump and mutiple videos show the director climbing over the fence on the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, with filming continuing on as he he jumped off and fell to his death.
"TMZ has seen the footage ... but we did not purchase the material. It's unclear if another media outlet has taken the bait," the site reported.
Scott committed suicide on Aug. 20 and witnesses told police he took the leap without hesitation, according to the Los Angeles Times. They said the "Top Gun" director parked his car on the bridge in the afternoon, got out and then scaled the 8-to 10-foot fence with the clear intention of committing suicide. A suicide note was later found in his office, the Times reported, and police also found a note in Scott's parked car with contact information on it.
The New York Daily News reported that police and Coast Guard had to use sonar equipment to find the director's body in the waters under the bridge. Only three hours after he committed suicide did divers draw out the body from the harbor.
