"Growing Pains" Actor Andrew Koenig Found Dead In Vancouver Park

Police in Vancouver, British Columbia are confirming that a body found in Vancouver's Stanley Park Thursday afternoon is indeed that of "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig. Walter Koenig, the father of the 41-year-old actor was emotional in announcing the discovery of his son. The elder Koenig said his son took his own life. Police said they did not believe foul play was involved. Walter, who played Chekov in the original "Star Trek" TV series, acknowledged that Andrew had been depressed for sometime. In an emotional plea, Koenig and his wife Judith urged those who may be suffering from depression to get help. Andrew Koenig played Kirk Cameron's best friend Richard "Boner" Stabone on the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains." The 41-year-old actor was last seen in the Vancouver area on Valentine's Day.
