HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Tracey Gold is mourning the death of her Growing Pains co-star Andrew Koenig.
“Today is a sad day,” the 40-year-old actress told Us Weekly in a statement. “My heart is broken for Andrew’s family. I have such great memories of Andrew and our time together on Growing Pains.”
Koenig, 41, was found dead Thursday in Vancouver’s Stanley Park.
“My son took his own life,” his father, Walter Koenig, said at an evening news conference held at the park. “He was obviously in a lot of pain.”
Koenig was reported missing over the weekend by his family, who said he was “suffering from depression.” He was last seen at a Vancouver bakery on Feb. 14.
Koenig starred as Richard “Boner” Stabone on the popular ’80s sitcom from 1985 to 1989. His character was the best friend of Mike Seaver (Kirk Cameron), the older brother of Carol Seaver, played by Gold.
