LOS ANGELES -- An autopsy report on the death of Top Gun
director Tony Scott lists his death as a suicide and says the cause was
multiple blunt force injuries suffered from jumping off a bridge into
Los Angeles Harbor.
The report released Monday by the Los Angeles
County coroner says Scott also drowned, and had in his system
therapeutic levels of the anti-depressant Remeron and the sleep aid
Lunesta.
No surprises appeared in the autopsy results on Scott,
who leapt from the Vincent Thomas Bridge on Aug. 19 and whose death was
presumed a probable suicide from the outset.
The coroner's office
said previously that Scott left notes behind in his car including
messages to friends and loved ones, but none gave a reason why he would
kill himself.
