I just learned from reading John Perry Barlow's blog and NY Newsday that auteur and performer Spalding Gray is missing. Because of a history of depression and previous suicide attempts, authorities fear the worst. (His film Swimming to Cambodia (1987) was a fascinating piece of work.)
I think its unfortunate that anyone would commit suicide whilst still facing a full life but it is particularly unfortunate that we might be deprived of his artistic genius.
We can only hope that they find him alive and well.
