Andrew “Boner” Koenig found Dead at 41

Andrew Koenig, best known for his role as dimwitted underachiever extraordinaire Richard “Boner” Stabone on the 80s sitcom Growing Pains was reported missing in Vancouver on Valentine’s Day. Concerned that Andrew suffered from depression, the search began for the former TV star, resulting in finding him dead today in Stanley Park as the result of suicide.

Globe and Mail reports:

Mr. Koenig’s father, also an actor, told a news conference at Stanley Park that his 41-year-old son had committed suicide,and that his body has been discovered in the park.

Walter Koenig, famous for playing Russian crew member Pavel Chekov on the original Star Trek series, urged anyone with suicidal thoughts to seek help.

Granted the son of Chekov never amounted to much of significance after his career peaked with Growing Pains, but he did make an appearance in a very popular fan made video portraying a very convincing Joker in a showdown between Batman vs Aliens vs Predators.

The short film was called Batman:Dead End. So in tribute to Andrew, here it is.
