Spalding Gray had been depressed for some time before he disappeared a few months ago: “It’s another rocky time. I’m still limping from the car accident. My skull was fractured in the car accident, my hip was broken and my sciatic nerve was almost severed. The hospital they sent me to was not very good. There was no medicine they could find that was very helpful. It’s depressing. I can’t swim. I’m not cross-country skiing. I’m not hiking the way I used to. It’s ragged time. I’m just not whole.”
