Andrew Koenig Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

VANCOUVER (AP) — Vancouver police say "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig has been found dead.

At a press conference in the downtown park where his body was found, police said foul play was not suspected, but would not release a cause of death because the coroner is still investigating.

The actor's father, Milton Koenig, said his son "took his own life."

Friends found the body at around noon Thursday in a heavily wooded area about 100 feet (30 meters) from a popular foot path.

Koenig, 41, was visiting friends in Vancouver when he went missing more than a week ago.

The Venice, California, native had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Boner, a pal of star Kirk Cameron's character, Mike.

To Andrew’s wonderful family,

I feel your pain and send very belated but heartfelt condolences. My daughter Lisa and Andrew’s sister Danielle were good buddies in kindergarten and first grade attending Dixie Canyon Elementary. I’m so sorry I never had the opportunity to meet Andrew. For years I’ve had on and off bouts of clinical depression which required medication and therapy. The pain and loneliness of that affliction are just terrible. Rest In Peace, beautiful soul. Much...

I knew you, when I delivered your mail, you were nice and kind, and you always smiled. I loved that you were a vegan, and cared so much, for animals, the environment, and people. You will always be thought of, in a loving kind way.
