Has anyone seen Andrew Koenig? "Boner" from "Growing Pains" missing since 2/14 in Vancouver

Passing along some news that's definitely not funny, even though it concerns Andrew Koenig from "Never Not Funny" and better known from his teen-actor turn as "Boner" in the 1980s sitcom Growing Pains.

Friends of Koenig have reported him missing, last seen Feb. 14 in Vancouver. This came in earlier today from Dave Holmes:

"Andrew Koenig (the video guy on “Never Not Funny,” and “Boner” from “Growing Pains”) has been missing for a week, last seen 2/14 in Vancouver. Didn’t make his flight back to the US on 2/16. The Vancouver Police are involved, and lots of people are looking. Could you reblog this and help get the word out? And say some prayers or think some positive thoughts?"

Koenig, 41, is the son of Walter Koenig and brother-in-law of Jimmy Pardo. If you have seen him, please contact your local authorities.

UPDATED: Jenny Magenta, whom Koenig had been staying with in Vancouver before his disappearance, posted a message last night on Facebook, that read in part:

"If you have seen him, emailed him or had any contact after the 14th/15th or spent time with him during his stay in Vancouver and the police HAVE NOT contacted you yet, please call Detective Raymond Payette and his phone is 604-717-2534 and provide the information you have. Please do not call 911."

Vancouver police found the body of actor Andrew Koenig on Thursday in the park where the former "Growing Pains" star had last been seen on Feb. 14.

Koenig, 41, was reported missing by his parents after he missed a flight to L.A. from Vancouver last week. Walter Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov on the original "Star Trek," said that his son had stopped taking antidepressants about a year ago, the L.A. Times reports.

"My son took his own life," Walter Koenig said during a police news conference tonight, E! reports. His parents said they wished their son new how many people cared about him.

Andrew Koenig was best known for playing Kirk Cameron's friend, Richard "Boner" Stabone, on the 1980s ABC sitcom "Growing Pains."

Vancouver police confirmed a body was found in Stanley Park, but they did not report a cause of death.

Several reports said the actor had cleared out his L.A. apartment before coming to Vancouver, and that he had sold a number of his possessions. EW reports that on Feb. 16, Koenig's parents received a "despondent" note from their son.
