Thread: Where is Boner?

Depression is a bitch.

I've never met him, but I did meet his dad, who's a very nice guy.

I hope he's okay.

Boner looks so different.

At first I thought Rob lost his boner.

doesn't sound very hopeful. jeeze i feel bad for his family.

Maybe he's stalking Kirk Cameron with a banana....

Andrew Koenig Paid Rent, Moved Out Before He Disappeared

As missing Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig's parents issue desperate pleas to help find their missing son, neighbors at the 41-year-old's Venice, Calif., apartment complex tell PEOPLE he moved out several weeks ago before heading to Vancouver, B.C., to visit friends.

"He cleared out his apartment," about three weeks ago, neighbor Mark Clough tells PEOPLE. "It started off as a garage sale, and eventually, he put everything out in front of the apartment, like he was giving it away."

Koenig has been missing since Feb. 16, when his parents, Walter Koenig and Judy Levitt Koenig, got a note from the star. Police say there has been no activity on Koenig's cell phone and ATM card since that date, but they have received "a substantial amount of tips and information" about him.

Back in L.A., Koenig's landlord, who declined to give his name, confirmed that Koenig gave notice and paid his final rent bill last month before vacating the apartment he'd lived in for nine years.

Clough recalls that during Koenig's garage sale, "I said, 'Are you moving?' He said he was heading to Canada to stay with some friends."

Rip boner>>

Andrew Koenig, best known as Boner from Growing Pains, has been found dead in the woods in Vancouver by friends and family that organized a search for him. Last seen on Valentine's Day by friends he was visiting in Vancouver, a search was started by his parents after they received a disturbing letter from their son.

Saying he had been dealing with clinical depression, Walter Koenig (Chekov from the original Star Trek) made desperate pleas to the media and public for help in finding his son. Reports were that he had sold off many of his belongings and gave notice to his landlord in California before traveling to visit friends in Vancouver.

Friends and family organized a search after no information was turned up by either police or tips. Koenig's body was found in a densely wooded area today by the search party. Koenig is lamenting his son's depression and death.

"My son took his own life. . . Don't ignore it; don't rationalize it. Extend a hand," he told reporters about his son and depression.

Jeez

I feel bad for Walter, and even Andrew. The effects of depression are devastating, to put it mildly.

I just read today that he hung himself in the woods of Canada.

Then you might say he was well hung.

actually that statement comes from men getting a death erection when they were hanged. if you could see it it was said he'd been "well hung".

Entertainment Tonight reports teen battled severe depression

I'm battled severe depression Because i'm too tired to go out tonight...

i'm depressed and this thread is ironic...

The problem with depression is that too many people misunderstand it.

There are young, angsty, emo dressing people who moan about how bad life is because it's a tortured existence having to go to school, Starbucks, or work. I think that this is what far too many people think of when the envision depression. Well, it's not.

Real depression doesn't make you write bad poetry, wear black clothes, or get on the Interweb to complain about it. Real depression makes death look like a viable alternative to living. It's a constant battle every just to be somewhat normal. If it's due to a chemical imbalance, it never, ever, goes away.

It's not funny, it's not to laugh at, and it's something that kills way too many people every year. And it's generally not anything a person's done to themselves, such as taking up drugs.

It's not funny at all.

Thats too bad, and sucks for his family to have to deal with that now.

I would never kill myself as far as I know, just saying if both my kids were killed in a tragic accident or something who knows... but in the last few years I've come to completely understand why people do except for 1 thing... how they can hurt the people they leave behind. It still seems to me to be a very selfish decision.

One of the shitty thing about being this depressed before is when you want to help someone in that state you KNOW it's impossible for them to believe things will get better. Don't give up though, be gentle and consistent. Let them know you love them. It's fucking sad to say but if they cannot bear to hang on at least they will know you cared.

Really sad. Hate to hear things like this.
