He was 68, and jumped from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, according to witnesses without even hesitating. In addition to Numb3rs he also co-produced, with his brother Ridley, "The Good Wife" - not as enjoyable as Numb3rs, but it has the same quality of likability in excess of expectations. He also directed a number of solid action films that were enjoyable to good - my favorite by far was *Crimson Tide*. Also very much liked Revenge, Man On Fire, and Unstoppable, and his remake of The Taking of Pelham 123 was interesting (I guess he had a good relationship with Denzell Washington. I did not find any information about what was in his note; we should not speculate, but when elderly white men kill themselves the number 1 reason is some kind of health problem. Number 2 is some kind of financial or professional crisis, but from what we know that does not seem likely. * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Taking_of_Pelham_123_%282009_film%29>* -- TV or Not TV ....
