Tony Scott, director of such Hollywood blockbusters as Top Gun, Days of Thunder and Beverly Hills Cop II, has died.
The 68-year-old Scott's death is being investigated as a suicide, Los Angeles County Coroner's Lieutenant Joe Bale says.
US Coast Guard Lieutenant Jennifer Osburn has told the Daily Breeze that a suicide note was found inside Scott's black Toyota Prius, which was parked on one of the eastbound lanes of the bridge.
The British-born Scott was the brother of producer and director Ridley Scott.
The two brothers ran Scott Free Productions and were working jointly on a film called Killing Lincoln, based on the best seller by Bill O'Reilly.
Ridley Scott's Prometheus, was a summer blockbuster.
Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, was one of the highest-grossing films of 1986. The pair worked together again four years later on the hit Days of Thunder, which also starred Nicole Kidman.
Scott frequently worked with Denzel Washington, most recently on the runaway train drama Unstoppable. Scott and Washington collaborated on four other films: Man on Fire, Deja Vu, and The Taking of Pelham 123.
In a tweet on Sunday, director Ron Howard said, 'No more Tony Scott movies. Tragic day.'
Other Scott films include True Romance, Crimson Tide and Man on Fire.
Scott was married to actress Donna Scott. They have twin sons.
