Director Tony Scott's deadly plunge off of a 180-foot tall bridge spanning the Los Angeles Harbor has stunned friends and fans, and left Hollywood buzzing about what could have prompted one of the industry's more successful filmmakers to take the leap.

And now at least one video recording of that jump, taken by an onlookers on a cell phone, is up for sale to the highest bidder.

Several passersby and a security camera at a nearby business captured Scott jumping from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, TMZ reports, saying one of the videos is being shopped. So far the video has not appeared in public on any outlet.

The bridge is a favorite filming location for action directors, although Scott apparently never used it for one of his films.

Meanwhile, the question of "why" remains. Scott, 68, was busy with several projects, including the sequel to perhaps his best known film, "Top Gun." Scott's autopsy and notes he left for loved ones will offer investigators clues, but any answers that authorities obtain will not be released for several weeks.
