VANCOUVER (AP) -- Vancouver police say "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig has been found dead. At a press conference in the downtown park where his body was found, police said foul play was not suspected, but would not release a cause of death because the coroner is still investigating.
The actor's father, Milton Koenig, said his son "took his own life."
Friends found the body at around noon Thursday in a heavily wooded area about 100 feet (30 meters) from a popular foot path.
Koenig, 41, was visiting friends in Vancouver when he went missing more than a week ago.
The Venice, California, native had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Boner, a pal of star Kirk Cameron's character, Mike.
