According to police, the body was discovered in the Stanley Park area today at around noon.
Koenig has been missing since February 14.
The body of Growing Pains star Andrew Koenig, who had been missing for nearly two weeks, was discovered in a Vancouver park Thursday. He committed suicide, his father said. Friends of Koenig initiated their own search of the park and invited his father, Star Trek alumnus Walter Koenig, along. His body was found in a densely wooded area where it initially was unseen from the path.
The park was apparently known to be one of the actor’s favorite spots when he lived in Vancouver in the early ’90s.
“My son took his own life,” Walter Koenig said, at a news conference Thursday night. “The only other thing I want to say — I’ve already said what a great guy he was, and good human being — he was obviously in a lot of pain.”
The Vancouver police would not give details on cause of death but the case has been turned over to the corner’s office.
