Former child actor Andrew Koenig, best know for his role as the BFF of Kirk Cameron’s character in “Growing Pains”, was found dead in Stanley Park in Vancouver at noon on Thursday, February 25, 2010. The 41-year-old went missing in Vancouver on February 14, 2010. His parents called British Columbia police to report the disappearance of their son after he failed to return to Venice, California on his scheduled flight or answer his cellphone.

Police had previously searched Stanley Park because it was reported to be a favorite spot of Andrew’s when he lived there in the early 90s. The body was discovered in a densely wooded area, off the normal path, by family and friends who had initiated their own private search. Among the searchers was Andrew’s father. Police have characterized Koenig’s cause of death as suicide.
