RIP
Missing Growing Pains actor, Andrew Koenig, has been found dead in a Canadian park. For over a month his parents and fellow actors had been desperately trying to locate the actor who vanished after leaving his Los Angeles apartment and heading to visit friends in Vancouver. Yesterday his parents abruptly walked out on Larry King because they felt it was disrespectful to continually pushing back their interview because of the Seaworld tragedy. Later his parents organized a team to scour Stanley Park and it was there, in dense vegetation, they stumbled across his body. Evidently the actor had given away all his possessions prior to leaving for Canada. During a press conference following the discovery of the body his father said his son had taken his own life. Koenig played Richard “Boner” Stabone on the hit sitcom Growing Pains. He was 41.
Oh how sad. I can’t remember seeing him but his poor mum and dad must be distraught. I feel for all families who have a loved one suicide. This will be fresh for you too Lynn losing your precious son to that accident then you other nephew to suicide. Those boys were obviously so loved. The families have to go on living but it’s got be be hard. My girlfriend lost her young daughter to breast cancer, ironic isn’t it as she had none really to speak of and her mum will never ever be the same again.. It’s been 5 yeas and I just have to look at her to know what she’s wishing. It’s very sad.
