Sadly, it is being reported that Growing Pains star, Andrew Koenig was found dead this afternoon.
The 41-year-old star was found in Vancouver’s famous Stanley Park, after he was reported missing since February 18th. Before he left on his trip to see friends in Toronto and Vancouver, he was said to have moved out of his apartment in Venice, California.
Additionally, he sold some of his things through a garage sale. Then, on the 16th, he sent a note to his parents, which was described as being despondent, and he missed his flight back to California.
He is the son of Walter Koenig, who starred on the hit TV series, Star Trek as Pavel Chekov. Walter has confirmed that his son committed suicide.
In a press conference today, he said, “My son took his own life. He was obviously in a lot of pain.”
Yesterday Walter and his wife took to a televised press conference to beg their son to let them know whether or not he was alright. They also made a plea to the residents of Vancouver to keep an eye out for Andrew.
This is so unbelievably tragic. I feel so deeply crushed for them right now. They must be feeling unimaginable pain, and I only wish them the best.
