Tom Cruise leads tributes to director Tony Scott

Tom Cruise has led tributes to his "dear friend" Tony Scott, who has died aged 68 after jumping from a bridge in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The British director was known for action films like Top Gun and Days of Thunder, in which Cruise starred.
"He was a creative visionary whose mark on film is immeasurable," he said.

An autopsy was carried out on Monday. Results will not be known for several weeks but the coroner denied reports that Scott had a brain tumour.
Various media outlets had cited an anonymously sourced story that suggested the director had an inoperable cancer.
"According to the family, to their knowledge, he did not have any issues with any cancers," Los Angeles Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told reporters.

"They don't know where that came from."
