Ray having head trauma explanation in Fractured? [closed]

In the Netflix movie Fractured, after Ray accidentally kills his wife and finds his daughter killed, he creates his own reality where his wife and daughter are alive.

Does Ray hit his head so bad that causes him this trauma or is it because of losing his ex-wife years ago that caused this?

Also does he suffer this trauma from a long time or was this after he caused his wife's death?

Why is Ray hell bent on accusing the hospital responsible for his wife and daughter's disappearance. Why can't he see the reality even after noticing his wife's and daughter's body in his own car?

2nd scene: why didn't police's sniffer dogs track Ray's car at the accident site? Since his wife and daughter were in Ray's car all this while. Or was this also one of the realities he created?

Best Answer

According to the plot synopsis on the movie's Wikipedia page:

However, as Ray drives away it is revealed that he is experiencing visual hallucinations from psychological trauma resulting from the incident earlier that day. In reality, Peri died from the fall, and Ray accidentally killed Joanne after pushing her. The trauma of realizing he'd killed his family caused Ray's mind to construct a new reality in which both his wife and daughter are alive. Ray believes he is rescuing them, but it is revealed that he has kidnapped a random patient from surgery, while his wife and daughter are lying dead in the trunk of his car.

How do you describe a closed head injury?

A closed brain injury is caused by a rapid forward or backward movement and shaking of the brain inside the bony skull that results in bruising and tearing of brain tissue and blood vessels. Closed brain injuries are usually caused by car accidents, falls, and increasingly, in sports.

How does head injury affect fracture healing?

In patients with traumatic brain injury and fractures of long bones, it is often clinically observed that the rate of bone healing and extent of callus formation are increased. However, the evidence has been unconvincing and an association between such an injury and enhanced fracture healing remains unclear.

Is a skull fracture a closed head injury?

Skull fractures can result from injuries that break the skin (called open injuries) or do not break the skin (called closed injuries). In people with a skull fracture, brain damage may be more severe than in people with a head injury but no fracture.

What happens to the brain during a closed head injury?

In a closed head injury, damage occurs because of a blow to the person's head or having the head stop suddenly after moving at high speed. This causes the brain to move forward and back or from side to side, such that it collides with the bony skull around it. This jarring movement bruises brain tissue.
