Updated 2/25: RIP Andrew Koenig, found dead today in Vancouver's Stanley Park. He was suffering from depression. He was 41.
Passing along some news that's definitely not funny, even though it concerns Andrew Koenig from "Never Not Funny" and better known from his teen-actor turn as "Boner" in the 1980s sitcom Growing Pains.
Friends of Koenig have reported him missing, last seen Feb. 14 in Vancouver. This came in earlier today from Dave Holmes:
"Andrew Koenig (AK-47, the video guy on “Never Not Funny,” and “Boner” from “Growing Pains”) has been missing for a week, last seen 2/14 in Vancouver. Didn’t make his flight back to the US on 2/16. The Vancouver Police are involved, and lots of people are looking. Could you reblog this and help get the word out? And say some prayers or think some positive thoughts?"
Koenig, 41, is the son of Walter Koenig -- Star Trek's Chekov -- and brother-in-law of Jimmy Pardo. If you have seen him, please contact your local authorities.
UPDATED: Jenny Magenta, whom Koenig had been staying with in Vancouver before his disappearance, posted a message last night on Facebook, that read in part:
"If you have seen him, emailed him or had any contact after the 14th/15th or spent time with him during his stay in Vancouver and the police HAVE NOT contacted you yet, please call Detective Raymond Payette and his phone is 604-717-2534 and provide the information you have. Please do not call 911."
UPDATED 2/21: Still no word as of Sunday afternoon. But Walter Koenig's site just put up a statement that said "Andrew was suffering from depression at the time of his disappearance," that they have not heard from him since Feb. 9, and that his cell phone had been turned off, last receiving a text message Feb. 16 in Vancouver. They plan on flying there soon to help police with their search and investigation.
I never seen him...

Yet another life claimed because of Depression and a possible drug abuse. I remember the case of the late great Nick drake. But this guy seemed to be talented. It’s a pity that all talented people fade away slowly. But that’s the way of nature and self destruction. http://www.genericviagrarx.net/generic-viagra.html

That's an interesting point. The reason they're gray is that the rest of the app uses gray to denote inactive items, so I wanted to keep the same logic here. I'm always open to ideas, though, so I'll keep playing around with this stuff.

I'm impressed. You're truly well informed and very intelligent. Buy Toprol Online wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. I'm saving this for future use.

You know, I just wonder why he was missing and why his friends left him, I don't believe he had no friends with him on the 14th, that is just unbelievable!

RIP Mr. Boner. Things come and go in life but this guy was just too young to die at barely 41. What a shame and this depression deal needs to be taken more seriously by everyone to avoid these things from happening.
