He jumped off of a tall ass bridge. Apparently he had recently found out he had an inoperable brain tumor.

terrible, terrible, terrible. RIP sir

Wow RIP

Watch The Bridge...or don't.

Ya.... I suppose a quick google search would have answered it for me. Said if you belly flop from a high distance you are toast. Makes sense seeing as how it hurts when you do it off a 3 foot diving board.

I wanted another Enemy Of the State. Loved True Romance. I've never seen Days Of thunder. I plain on buying on blu ray. Crimson Tide / Last Boy Scout.

so sad, its just crazy to think of how many people follow through with suicide. rip

This news came as a complete suprise to me last night when I read it, as he has had a pretty good career for 20+ years. True Romance is one of my favorites. Was kind of relieved this morning when I read about the brain tumor. Hopefully in the future he isn't considered someone who committed suicide, and instead someone who died of cancer.

Man on Fire is one of my favorites, sad to hear this news. People should've left him and his brother alone about Prometheus, which I thought was good.

I really liked it

I blame Tom Cruise and Scientology.

Damn...Cancer takes another great life. I submitted this before I knew that news (specifically). It is so sad to see such a great director leave us.
