His body was found in a Vancouver park on Thursday afternoon, according to CNN.By Larry Carroll Andrew Koenig Photo: IMDB More than a week after "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig went missing, his body has been found in Vancouver, CNN is reporting. An unnamed source, who reportedly spoke to Koenig's father, told CNN that the body found in Vancouver's Stanley Park on Thursday (February 25) at around noon is the 41-year-old. A news conference is expected for later Thursday, and various reports are saying that his parents — including "Star Trek" icon Walter Koenig — may attend. Fans, media and authorities alike had all come together over the last week in search of Koenig, who vanished on Valentine's Day and then missed a flight home to Los Angeles two days later. Reports later leaked that Vancouver police classified the actor as being "despondent" upon his disappearance, that he had suffered from depression, and had mailed a letter to his father before vanishing that gave the family cause for concern. As friends and family feared the worst, his Hollywood peers, including Alyssa Milano, Kevin Smith, Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Silverman, all used Twitter to voice concern and ask for help locating the actor. Joshua Andrew Koenig was born August 17, 1968, and worked as an actor, film director, editor and writer. He was best known for playing troublemaking teen Richard "Boner" Stabone on the ABC sitcom "Growing Pains," starring Kirk Cameron — who sent out his own desperate plea for Koenig's safe reappearance recently. In the years since the hit sitcom went off the air, Koenig had a small role on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," voiced the Joker in a fan film called "Batman: Dead End" and wrote and directed the 2004 short film "Woman in a Green Dress." If the reports are true, Koenig's last professional work is believed to be alongside "Twilight" star Jackson Rathbone in the experimental indie film "DaZe: Vol. Too - NonSeNse."

Missing actor told friends he planned to move back to Vancouver to 'start over,' pal tells TMZ.By Gil Kaufman Andrew Koenig Photo: IMDB While Canadian police continue their search for missing actor Andrew Koenig, a longtime friend told TMZ on Tuesday (February 23) that the former "Growing Pains" co-star emptied out his apartment in Venice, California, because he was looking for a fresh start in Vancouver. Pal Lance Miccio visited Koenig's California apartment on Monday night and said the flat was cleaned out and that the actor told friends two weeks ago he planned to move back to Vancouver to "start over." Koenig, who was last seen February 14 and is said to be suffering from depression, chose the site of this year's winter Olympics because he lived there nearly 20 years ago and considered it his "place for solace." According to a report from RadarOnline.com, police have tracked electronic information, such as usage of his ATM card and phone, leading them to believe that the 41-year-old Koenig is in the Vancouver area. Constable Tim Fanning told the site that this indicates "Andrew is just lying low in Vancouver." Koenig, best known for his role as Richard "Boner" Stabone on the hit series "Growing Pains," reportedly disappeared after visiting friends on February 14. But this week, multiple reported sightings of Koenig have Vancouver police feeling "hopeful that he is still alive." Police say they've gotten a number of tips reporting sightings of Koenig in the Vancouver area. The actor's family — including his father, "Star Trek" alum Walter Koenig — told People magazine that they were concerned when he did not arrive in California on February 16, as he had previously scheduled to meet friends upon arrival. "Andrew was suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance," a statement from the family read. Fellow "Growing Pains" star Kirk Cameron recently released a statement pleading for Koenig to contact him. "I am praying for his family during this time of distress and for his safe return," he said. "Andrew, if you're reading this, please call me." While Vancouver police conduct an investigation, Andrew Koenig's Hollywood peers have begun spreading the news of his disappearance via social-networking sites. Alyssa Milano, Kevin Smith, Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Silverman have all sent out updates from their Twitter accounts about the developing situation.
