Scott did have the therapeutic levels of both the sleep aid Lunestra and the anti-depressant Mirtazipine in his system when he took his life.
After Scott's death, many media outlets reported the Top Gun director had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, but Scott's wife denied the reports. Though Scott's wife's claims have been confirmed, the family has yet to offer another explanation as to why Scott chose to end his life.
