Hollywood Still Awaits Coroner\'s Report on Tony Scott\'s Death

LOS ANGELES -There's still no sign of the Los Angeles County coroner's report that might shed some light on the story behind the film director Tony Scott's suicidal plunge from the Vincent Thomas Bridge here on Aug. 19.

The coroner's office initially said it would take weeks to compile a report that will include results of an autopsy performed on Mr. Scott's body. In fact, it has been 60 days, and counting. So far, that matches the 60 days it took the coroner to release a 42-page final report on the drowning-and-drugs death of Whitney Houston in February, though it is far short of the six months it took to compile a 51-page coroner's report on the death of Michael Jackson.

The investigation of Mr. Jackson's death, of course, was complicated by questions about criminal responsibility. Mr. Scott's case would hardly seem that complex. But it remains a mystery to many of those who knew, loved and worked with him.Earlier this week, Ed Winter, an assistant chief of t he coroner's office, said he did not know when the Scott investigation would be complete.
