Actor Andrew Koenig's Body Found in Vancouver Park
Sad news: The body of Andrew Koenig, the actor best known for playing Boner on Growing Pains, has been found in a Vancouver park. The news was confirmed by CNN, and is the subject of a press conference taking place within the next half-hour.
Koenig had been battling depression and went missing on February 14. A public search produced a flood of tips and sightings, and a scuttled Larry King appearance last night by Koenig's parents (his father, Walter Koenig, played Chekhov in Star Trek).

I saw the news report about this young man the other day. They said that he was missing. His dad was just beside himself. I'm so sorry to hear the outcome of this story. He apparently had been depressed for some time.
Please listen to those who talk of depression. Just listening and encouraging them can sometimes make a difference. I am sure his family did all they could do. May they find peace.
Everyone always mentions Boner, but nobody recalls that brilliant short he did where he played the Joker. Fantastic work. It's a shame he's gone, and an even bigger shame that every obit and tribute to the man has to include the word Boner. RIP
For many of us, it’s tempting to think we’d be happier if we were born into different circumstances. Likewise, many dream of having celebrity. Yet again and again we see news stories that remind us that neither fame nor money buys happiness. Condolences to the Koenig family.
Weak. Very sorry.
A very sad end for this young man's life.
What do you mean and what are you addressing by saying "Weak"?
