Tony Scott's funeral details announced
Director Tony Scott will be laid to rest at a private family funeral in Los Angeles this weekend (25-26Aug12).
The Top Gun filmmaker committed suicide by jumping off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in California on Sunday afternoon (20Aug12).
His family has now announced that Scott's burial will be a private
affair, but fans will be able to pay their respects at a separate
memorial to be scheduled in due course.
A representative for Scott's relatives says in a statement, "(Scott
will be) honoured at a private, family only ceremony this weekend
in Los Angeles.
"The family will announce plans after Labor Day (03 September) for
a gathering to celebrate the life and work of Mr. Scott. Details
will be forthcoming once they are formalised."
An autopsy was completed on Monday (21Aug12) and Los Angeles
Coroner's Chief of Operations Craig Harvey revealed the family
denied reports that Scott had been diagnosed with inoperable brain
cancer before his death.
