Maybe he's Swimming to Cambodia...again.

I guess his next movie will be "Where's Spalding"
Seriously though, it does not look good considering the facts behind this guys state of mind and past history. MY prayers for his family -- I do not feel sorry for him if he has done something to himself -- but one should always feel sorry for and console the family of someone who does this to themselves.

Here is an excerpt from an interview by Kate Miller, io Magazine:
io: When you saw yourself on the screen in King of the Hill, did watching your character commit suicide have an effect on you personally?
SG: Yeah, at the time Steven Soderbergh cast me in that movie, I was having a lot of suicide fantasies. I was darkly convinced that at age 52 I would kill myself because my mother committed suicide at that age. I was fantasizing that she was waiting for me on the other side of the grave. Steven said I was his only choice for that role because he had read Impossible Vacation, which was about a man ruled by regret.
I was taken by the fact that the character in King of the Hill had chosen cutting his wrists as the method of suicide, because that was one of my fantasies when I was in Taos. I thought that I would take Quaaludes, take a razor out to the hot tub with me and cut my wrists. But then I thought the Quaaludes would make me feel so good that I would end up not doing it [strange, sad laugh].

Maybe he's telling another of those boring monologues and everybody just tuned him out too effectively.

I saw "Gray's Anatomy" and thought it decent; not boring, and somewhat amusing in a black-comedy sort of way.

Can you imagine if he left a suicide tape, rather than a suicide note? Two hours. Minimum.

Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not making fun of the man's plight, just his ability to tell stories that last hours.
The 62-year-old writer-performer, a diagnosed manic depressive, was last seen late Saturday night at his TriBeCa home, law-enforcement sources said.
God help him, wherever he is. I hope his people get to him in time.

at least two suicide attempts near his Hamptons home.
You say there aint no use in livin
Its all a waste of time
n you wanna throw your life away, well
People thats just fine
Go ahead on n get it over with then
Find you a bridge n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first time
cause nothins worse than a Suicide Chump
You say there aint no light a-shinin
Through the bushes up ahead
n were all gonna be so sorry
When we find out you are dead
Go head on and get it over with then
Find you a bridge n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first time
cause nothins worse than a Suicide Chump
Now maybe youre scared of jumpin
n poison makes you sick
n you want a little attention
n you need it pretty quick
Dont wanna mess your face up
Or we wont know if its you
Aw theres just so much to worry about
Now what you gonna do?
Go head on n get it over with then
Go head on n get it over with then
Go head on n get it over with then
Go head on n get it over with then
Youre on the bridge;
Scared to leap,
But a girl walks over
To take a peep...
She says: Dont do it!
But wouldnt you know...
The girl got a head
Like a buffalo
With a little red hair
All over the top
An her breath would make the
Traffic stop
She says I love you...
But first, lets eat!
[Suicide Chump, Frank Zappa]

I've never understood why somebody would blow their brains out or jump off a bridge when its so much more fun to spend twenty years drinking yourself to death.

I hope he's OK. Until now, I hadn't heard of his trouble with depression or his auto accident. I've always thought he was very talented and intriguing.
