A video of Tony Scott’s jump to death is being shopped around.

Written by +

Top Gun director Tony Scott jumped to his death Sunday afternoon. He jumped off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the middle of the day. Sources say that without hesitation, he just jumped to his death. He was 68 years old.

Now some claim that Tony was devastated after learning that he had an inoperable brain tumor but his wife told investigators that he was cancer free. Not really sure what’s going on there but maybe the autopsy results will clear that up.

Tony did leave a list of people to contact to tell about his death, as well as a suicide note.

But here’s the sick part of this sad story. There were numerous boaters and large group on a harbor cruise and they whipped out their cell phone when they noticed someone climbing over the 9 foot bridge. They kept recording and snapping pics as Tony plummeted to his death. One of the passengers said, “He landed right next to our tour boat, and many of us saw the whole thing.”

Well now the witnesses are shopping around those death photos and videos. TMZ said that they have seen the footage but did not purchase the material. No word on if any other outlet has taken the bait.

Tony left behind a wife, two young twin boys and his director brother Ridley Scott.
