FORMER "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig was found dead on Thursday in a wooded area of a Vancouver park where he enjoyed spending time, apparently after committing suicide.
The actor's father, Walter Koenig, said: "My son took his own life.
"He was obviously in a lot of pain," Koenig said, referring his son's lifelong depression.
Police spokeswoman Jana McGuinness, speaking at a press conference at the park, said foul play was not involved, but said she could not be more specific because the coroner was taking over the investigation.
Andrew Koenig, 41, had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Richard "Boner" Stabone, a pal of star Kirk Cameron's character, Mike. The native of Venice, California, hadn't been seen since February 14 while visiting friends in Vancouver.
His parents said Andrew had been depressed, and had said earlier that he had given away his belongings and had been off his medication. They urged others who are having trouble coping to seek help.
