Ray (doctor)/Theories

Theories about
Ray (doctor)

Theories may be removed if ...
Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Ray could have been brought to the Island as a child during the heyday of the Dharma Initiative, much like Ben, he seems to be the right age to have been a child/young adult during the '70's-'80's.
Ray's face was cut a second time in the exact spot as his first cut, thus necessitating that it be re-stitched. At some point after that, his throat is slit and he is tossed overboard.
Ray mentions that the captain is "not a man to cross" shortly after we see the cut on his face; it was caused by the captain hitting him for a failure of some kind. You know, back when the captain was still presented as an unseen character who was supposedly really intimidating, instead of when we actually met him and discovered that he's a trembling wuss who can't stand up to Keamy.
