My father-in-law told me of this today, but had said it was an accident (how stories can get bent eh..).

The real tragedy was the brain cancer I suppose, but either way it is a great loss the world of film making.

R.I.P.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

 TMZ reported that  "Tony Scott did NOT have inoperable brain cancer, or for that matter brain cancer at all  ... this according to Scott's family.

TMZ has learned ... Scott's wife told investigators the rumor that Tony had inoperable brain cancer is "absolutely false."

Although the autopsy results have been deferred pending more tests, our sources say there is no evidence of brain cancer.

What's more ... we're told Scott's wife says Tony did not have any other severe medical issues that would have caused him to take his own life.

Its really strange maybe he had a secret gambling problem and the mob was going to make his life really painful and he just decided to say to hell with it.

How odd.  I checked a more reliable local paper and it confirmed the story.

He was clearly disturbed about something.  Tragic, really.
