Star Trek star Walter Koenig and his wife Judy are mourning the death of their son, Andrew Koenig.
The body of Growing Pains actor Andrew Koenig was found in Vancouver yesterday. Walter and Judy Koenig made a statement to the media Thursday evening, in an attempt to reach out to people who were in emotional pain like their son. MTV News reported on yesterday’s press conference and Walter Koenig’s statement:
“My son took his own life,” Koenig’s father, “Star Trek” icon Walter Koenig, said between long pauses. “The only thing I want to say is — we’ve already said what a good guy he was and a good human being…and he was obviously in a lot of pain…for those families who have members they fear are susceptible to this kind of behavior, don’t ignore it, don’t rationalize it.”
