Andrew Koenig

Andrew Koenig played the character “Boner” in the TV series “Growing Pains”. He was becoming very famous because of his role and was being offered many acting assignments from different producers but he turned down all of them in February 2010 and went missing on the 14th of February, 2010. He sent his father a letter on the 16th and then the family members of Koenig started searching for him.

On the 28th of February, 2010 Koenig was found dead hanging from a tree. It was reported that he hanged himself and committed suicide. His body was found in a park in Vancouver. He hung himself in a very deep part of the park and the location clearly suggested that he didn’t want to be found.

It was a very tough time for his family especially his parents. Andrew Koenig was 41 years old and he led a great acting career just like his father who played the character of Chekov in the original Star Trek. Andrew’s father held an emotional press conference to talk about him and the reason he took his own life.

The reason for Andrew’s suicide is the fact that he was very depressed for a long time and his symptoms were getting greater by the day. Andrew’s father also told that no one should ever ignore signs of depression unless it could get too late to save the person. The case of Andrew Koenig is a few months old but people are just getting to know about it.
