Tony Scott

Given the diagnosis of terminal brain cancer, it’s understandable, at a purely emotional level, why Tony Scott killed himself. Like Alzheimer’s, this is one of those diseases that strikes at our core identity. Losing your mind is a terrifying prospect.

Nevertheless, he left behind two young sons. I imagine their father committing suicide will be more traumatic than if he died of brain cancer.

There is no good outcome for terminal brain cancer. This is one of those hopeless situations which forcibly reminds us that the gospel is the only hope we have.

  1. The plenary inerrant and infallible Wikipedia says,
    There was a rumour that Scott had inoperable brain cancer. According to Scott's family, he had no brain cancer at all. His widow told investigators the rumour is "absolutely false."[23]

    Their indubitable source was TMZ website

  2. The autopsy will settle that question one way or the other.
