For those of you who may not have heard yet, actor Andrew Koenig — who had been missing in Vancouver since Feb. 14 –committed suicide. Andrew’s griefstricken father broke the news to reporters after his son’s body was discovered in a park in British Columbia on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He was 41.<\/p>\n

In the ’80s, Koenig played Richard “Boner” Stabone, on TV’s Growing Pains<\/em>. He had struggled to emulate his early acting success later in life, causing him to spiral into a deep depression. Koenig was the son of Star Trek<\/em> actor Walter Koenig.<\/p>\n

Police Constable Jana McGuinness said Andrew’s body was found in a densely wooded area just off a popular trail in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. She declined to identify how the star committed suicide.<\/p>\n

The Koenig family is thanking fans for their kind words of support throughout the tragic ordeal.<\/p>\n

“It means a lot to them and they are very appreciative of the support they are receiving,”<\/em> a family rep said in a statement released late Thursday. “Each of these e-mails will be printed and bound in a remembrance book.”<\/em><\/p>\n
