British film director Tony Scott jumped to his death to his death Sunday afternoon from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, police officials confirmed. According to the Coast Guard report, Scott, 68, climbed a 8 to 10 -foot fence on the south side of the bridge and jumped about 12:30 p.m. The report quoted a coroner's report that said Scott jumped "without hesitation."

A suicide note was discovered inside Scott's black Toyota Prius, parked on one of the southbound lanes of the bridge, officials said. Police did not reveal the contents of the note.

Officers from the LAPD, the CHP and the U.S. Coast Guard worked together to pull Scott's body from the water and bring it to a dock in Wilmington, where it was turned over to Los Angeles County coroner's officials.

Scott's directing credits include Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Crimson Tide, Man on Fire and Beverly Hills Cop II.

Scott was the brother of director Ridley Scott, and the two shared producing credits on the CBS dramas The Good Wife and NUMB3RS. The Scott brothers recently wrapped up production on "Coma," a four-hour, two-night medical thriller airing next month on A&E.
