Documentary film producer Brian Gerber took his own life late Tuesday or early Wednesday by steering his car off a cliff on Angeles Crest Highway, according to county officials.
Ed Winter, assistant chief at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, confirmed that Gerber’s body was found near mile marker 31 at 7:35 a.m. Wednesday. Winter said investigators found a suicide note by the highway, near where the car went off the side.
Gerber, 41, produced the global warming documentary “The 11th Hour” for actor Leonardo DiCaprio and was involved in numerous other productions for the film, television and music video markets. He was a member of the board of the International Documentary Assn., according to the website of his Pasadena production firm, Gerber Rigler.
