Andrew Koenig's Body Believed to Have Been Found

A body believed to be that of missing Growing Pains star Andrew Koenig was found in a Vancouver park Thursday, police said.

Police and Keonig's parents were scheduled to appear at an evening news conference to provide additional details.

Koneig, 41, disappeared on Feb. 16 while traveling to the British Columbia city.

"Vancouver Police are investigating the discovery of a body found in Stanley Park around noon [Thursday]," police said in a statement. "The body is believed to be that of Andrew Koenig."

Mounted officers had been searching the park, which Koenig was known to have frequented.

The announcement came a day after Koenig's father, Star Trek star Walter Koenig, made an emotional televised plea to his son to let the family know he was okay.

The younger Koenig, who played Kirk Cameron's pal Boner on the hit '80s sitcom, had long battled depression, his family said. He had cleared out his Los Angeles apartment about three weeks ago before traveling to Vancouver, where he once lived.
