The body of Growing Pains star Andrew Koenig, who had been missing for nearly two weeks, was discovered in a Vancouver’s Stanley Park about noon, Vancouver police said. His body was found in a densely wooded area where it initially was unseen from the path. He had committed suicide. The park was known to be one of the actor's favorite spots when he lived in the city in the early '90s. Search and rescue teams had scoured the park Wednesday and found no evidence that Koenig had been there recently. "My son took his own life," his father, Walter Koenig said "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."

The parents of Andrew Koenig -- who has reportedly been missing for the past week -- described their son as suffering from depression and "not doing good" in the days leading up to his disappearance.
