Anyone know why Tony Scott, director of Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II, killed himself?

Limitless.....I almost didnt believe it till I read a few other articles on it as well.

On Jan. 19, police discovered more than 2,200 pills and tablets stockpiled in alphabetical order in a bedroom closet next to the bathroom where Simpson's body was found.

Those drugs, however, represented only a fraction of the 15,000 sedatives, amphetamines, tranquilizers, antipsychotics, narcotics and other medications provided to Simpson over the last three years by a network of 15 local doctors and eight pharmacies. And those are just the medications that authorities have tracked so far.

A review of Simpson's prescription records, obtained by The Times, illustrates just how easy it is for a wealthy addict to accumulate a substantial inventory of dangerous pharmaceuticals.

By visiting multiple doctors and pharmacies, Simpson was able to conceal the vast quantity and array of drugs prescribed to him, as well as the frequency with which he procured them. In many cases, the famous 52-year-old producer also masked his identity by having prescriptions illegally written for him under a pseudonym.

Simpson had no difficulty getting such dangerous and addictive narcotics as morphine sulfate and Percodan, which require federally regulated triplicate prescriptions. (When a triplicate is issued, a copy goes to the doctor, the pharmacy and the state agency that monitors controlled substances.) Simpson also had acquired a significant stash of Dexedrine, Seconal, Xanax, lithium and other controlled substances.

More than two dozen doctors are under investigation by local, state and federal authorities on suspicion of prescribing large amounts of drugs to Simpson in recent years. It is unclear how many of them were aware of his problem or were simply duped by an addict adept at making use of his money and celebrity.

On Friday, authorities armed with warrants raided the offices of two Westside psychiatrists--Robert Hugh Gerner and Nomi J. Fredrick--in connection with the probe. Fredrick's home also was searched.

Gerner, who treated Simpson in 1993 and 1994, is on probation for overprescribing controlled substances to another patient with whom he had sex, according to the California Medical Board.

Fredrick, according to records obtained by The Times, dispensed large amounts of addictive drugs to Simpson and other wealthy Los Angeles residents, including oil heiress Aileen Getty, who obtained more than 4,000 pills from Fredrick over the last year.

Many of the drugs at the heart of the probe were prescribed last summer while Simpson was undergoing detoxification at his home by friend Stephen Ammerman, a Pacific Palisades physician with a long history of substance abuse.

Ammerman believed that, for Simpson to become clean, it was necessary to prescribe drugs that would ease the painful withdrawal symptoms of other medications that he was taking--a "dangerously unorthodox" regimen, according to a government pharmacist interviewed for this article.

Well the fucker has me beat by at least 20g's, incredible

If people haven't seen the documentary "The Bridge" it's all about the most famous suicide bridge The Golden Gate.

This last clip is chilling because they had the cameras on this guy for a very long time before he decided enough was enough.

The Japanese method of suicide is to hang themselves in this forest.

Mr Math here....60 thousand per month = 2000/day. Non prescription pure coke/smack maybe but there is no way on earth you would be able to consume 2g's per day in pharmaceuticals and last more that 2 days. sorry but this myth is busted.

Don't forget your drugs are 50%-70% cheaper in Canada. I agree no one could consume that much, but it sounds like he was a hoarder. The pill mill doctors are super expensive here, and he likely had runners procuring scripts for him also that he was taking care of that he had to pay. Given discretion would be more important to him than cost, I could see his monthly tab getting close to that, but mostly because he was building a nuclear winter level bunker full of drugs.

No I took that into account. The only other explanation is he was feeding a wide range of whores and wannabes but the body can only take so much.....

I honestly thought I had maxed out in pill intake......3 month prescription...Ritalin......gone in one week to ten days.

Several days of no sleep and no eat.

It doesn't seem too extraordinary until you have to wait 2 and a half months for your next refill! lol....fuck my life September 25th I'm eligible again

That is likely spot on from what I recall reading about him.

He jumped off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, which is southern Los Angeles.



This is a weird bridge, because you see a bunch of industrial stuff if you look off to the left and right.

Anyway, I wonder why this guy killed himself. Was he not getting work anymore?

report: Scott had previously shot some scenes under that bridge

*maybe he was pushed*
