Or and more likely, he deep sixed himself...

You know... Joe could be on to something per the afore-
mentioned statement.

My question though... could a person with such an intent
(suicide)... be able to scuttle a small vessel in such a way
that very little if any at all... debris evidence... would
come to the surface?

If so... and if Mr. Gray was so motivated (ill health... etc..)
it's a plausable theory. But a difficult one to accept... in view
of what is known of him... or not as the case may be.

Which leads me to another line of thinking. Being such a stalwart
citizen and achiever... would he not have considered the ramifica-
tions of this type of action and how it would relate to his loved
ones... and the risk to SAR personnel? And therefore concluded
that this was not a viable alternative as a method to ending his
life?

Hmmm... so many questions... and so few answers... though
Joe's... IMHO may have some merit.
