Police Say Actor Andrew Koenig Found Dead
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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.

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

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

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

The guy was apparently pretty hard on himself.

I hope they found him before he had gone stiff.

Well he was found in a heavily wooded area.

Sources close to the story are saying he was hung.

(seriously)

 

[Brian]

Well, apparently his own set of "life rules" were too rigid.

Regardless of what people may believe, just because he was found in a park doesn't mean he had a pitched tent.

So what happened? Do we know what his dysfunction was?

Being the son of Chekov couldn't have been the best way to start things.
