Stars Mourn Andrew Koenig Through Twitter

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 26th 2010 06:35AM

Andrew Koenig, best known for playing "Boner" on 'Growing Pains,' has been found dead in Vancouver's Stanley Park after a week-long search. In the wake of the family's tearful press conference, friends and colleagues have posted messages of support and sadness on Twitter, reaching thousands of fans at once. Fellow former teen star Alyssa Milano wrote, "If you know someone suffering from depression, please do everything in your power to get them help. R.I.P. Andrew."

"My heart is heavy for the Koenig family," tweeted comedian Sarah Silverman.

Unable to hold back sobs during a dramatic press conference, Walter Koenig confirmed Thursday that his son Andrew had taken his own life. Walter played Chekov in the 'Star Trek' TV series and films; his co-stars and other actors in the franchise also used Twitter to express their sympathy.

"My deepest sympathies to Andrew Koenig's family," William Shatner wrote. "I will grieve with them."

"Star Trek: Next Generation" star LeVar Burton wrote: "Offering prayers for Walter & Judy Koenig as well as their beloved son, Andrew..."

"Oh my god," tweeted Wil Wheaton. "I just heard that Andrew Koenig's body has been found in Vancouver. He was only 41. My heart goes out to his family."

Koenig's 'Growing Pains' co-star Kirk Cameron has not made a statement since the actor's death, but said last week, "I am praying for his family during this time of distress and for his safe return." Reports PEOPLE, Cameron added, "Andrew, if you're reading this, please call me."
