Another sad story. He played Boner on Growing Pains and The Joker in Batman: Dead End. He was Walter Koenig's son.

Boner Suicide

Obvious Thread Title.

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.

Koenig's body was found in Stanley Park about noon, Vancouver police 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.

Search and rescue teams had scoured the park Wednesday and found no evidence that Koenig had been there recently. The park was known to be one of the actor's favorite spots when he lived in the city in the early '90s.

"My son took his own life," Walter Koenig said, trying to keep his composure 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."

Re: Boner Suicide

He also played the Joker in Batman Dead End that made its way around the web a few years ago, I thought he did a very good job.

RIP
 
Yes, I think Batty's is clearly the more tasteful of the two. Honestly not familiar with him... hated growing pains when I was a kid.

But, still sad to hear about a suicide.
