The 68 year old younger brother of popular movie director, Ridley Scott, jumped from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, California yesterday Sunday August 19th at about 12.30pm.

Investigators from the Los Angeles Police Departmen found contact information in his car, which was parked near the bridge, and a suicide note in his office.

A passerby who saw Scott jump from the bridge called 911. His body has been recovered from the water.

Scott’s last film as a director was 2010’s Unstoppable. He is survived by his wife, Donna Wilson Scott, and their twin sons, Frank and Max.

N'who told you pple who commit sucide are only poor. U think money is happyness? Then u havent seen lots of it my dear. Money is important in fact very important but it can never fullfil all ur desire. Jesus is happyness. He is the only one that gives u peace that passes human understanding

When most of these celebs attain a particular height in their careers they expect to fill d void they feel but unfortunately d void remains. This overwhelming feeling of emptiness can push sm1 over the edge, in this case literally. Most stars get lonelier as they rise higher in their careers. They think more money n fame will give them d satisfaction they crave. Only Jesus can fill dat void n give satisfaction on every side. When pple experience a disconnect in their spirit man n they don't seek help n counselling, suicide always seems d best way to end it all. Very sad, my God have mercy on his soul.
