LOS ANGELES (AP) — An autopsy report on the death of "Top Gun" director Tony Scott lists his death as a suicide and says the cause was multiple blunt force injuries suffered from jumping off a bridge into Los Angeles Harbor.

The report released Monday by the Los Angeles County coroner says Scott also drowned, and had in his system therapeutic levels of the anti-depressant Remeron and the sleep aid Lunesta.

No surprises appeared in the autopsy results on Scott, who leapt from the Vincent Thomas Bridge on August 19 and whose death was presumed a probable suicide from the outset.

The coroner's office said previously that Scott left notes behind in his car including messages to friends and loved ones, but none gave a reason why he would kill himself.

I'm not one to judge someone for committing suicide, nobody knows what they're going through but there's no reason for not at least explaining why to your family, that part is just pure selfishness and lack of concern for anyone else

- dr_lha Suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness, so that's kind of par-for-the-course really isn't it?
