He had hanged himself in a bedroom closet in their home in Tampa.<br /><br />Grey specialized in reversing vasectomies, using equipment he said he had designed himself. In the lawsuit, a man who went through the surgery in 2002 claimed that Grey had left two pieces of gauze in his scrotum, something the doctor said was impossible.<br /><br />Timothy Moran, a Jacksonville lawyer who represented the plaintiff, blamed Grey&#39;s insurance company for not settling the case. He said he had made two settlement offers, one for $250,000 -- the limit under Grey&#39;s insurance coverage -- and one for $175,000. The verdict makes Grey&#39;s business liable for $750,000.<br /><br />While Moran described Grey as &quot;upbeat&quot; and &quot;very cordial&quot; during the trial, his wife said the verdict upset him badly. Police said they found anti-depressants and an anti-anxiety drug in his home.<br /></div>
