Well, they found Spalding Gray.

From what I've read, he was depressed and occasionally suicidal since a horrible car accident in Ireland a few years ago. Crushed hip, constant pain, but also head injuries. I'm just going to stop this paragraph here.

One of the recommended documentaries at Cinequest is about a promising playwright who fell off a bridge in 1978, suffered head injuries, and was never expected to do creative work again. It's supposed to be uplifting in the end, but I don't think I'm going to see it.

I was at the hotel Monday night, and the TV volume in the bar was down and I was reading so I only saw the story flip away and didn't hear any details. I left the bar and went to my room really depressed. I knew he was probably dead, but it still sucked to see it confirmed. At least the NYT had it as front page news, unlike some other papers at the newstand.
