Is Andrew Koenig dead? Friends, parents fear suicide
On Wednesday parent of the 'Growing Pains' star issued an emotional heartbreaking plea to their son, missing actor Andrew Koenig begging him to let them know he's alright. Meanwhile friends of the missing star fear, he might have ended his life
The mysterious disappearance of star Andrew Koenig has got friends and family horrified. With days after he went missing, there are no signs of his being alright.
Meanwhile friends of the missing star fear, he might have ended his life. At a Canadian news conference, the parents of the "Growing Pains" star spoke directly to their son, choking back tears as they said "We just want to know that you're O.K. and if you want to stay here, change your life ... that's O.K."
The Koenigs also added he had been taking medication for depression -- but stopped taking it a year ago.
Andrew's mother closed the conference by saying "You are loved, you count and you matter."
According to the police Koenig was last seen in the British Columbia city on Feb 16, the same day his phone and ATM activity stopped. The search most recently went to a Vancouver park he frequented, but mounted officers found no sign of the 41-year-old Koenig.
Koenig, who had long battled depression, disappeared from his Los Angeles apartment about three weeks ago. He went away to Vancouver, where he once lived. Koenig’s friend Brooklyn born filmmaker Lance Miccio said Koenig told NY times that the actor had shown warning signs. "I asked him to work on a couple gigs last time we spoke (Feb. 4), and he just refused. It was unusual. He was kind of fed up with the Hollywood business," Miccio said. "He was a really talented guy, but he may have just said enough is enough and gone off into the wild. He was a nature boy. I keep hoping for a happy ending," he said.
