Andrew Koenig, known before this week as the guy who played Boner Stabone on “Growing Pains,” was found dead in a Vancouver park yesterday, the result of suicide.
Walter Koenig, an actor best known for his role as Chekov on “Star Trek,” appeared near tears as he sat with his wife before reporters in Stanley Park and described being called to a nearby part of the park where searchers had found the body of their 41-year-old son. “I went to the site,” Walter Koenig said. “My son took his own life.”
Really? Chekov and Boner? And here I thought the memorable-supporting-role gene skipped a generation.
Koenig’s body was found in the “Bridal Path” area of the park, Constable Jana McGuinness, a spokeswoman for the Vancouver Police Department, told reporters. It was not visible from the path and had been missed during a police search of the area Tuesday. “Sadly, at noon, Andrew’s body was found in the park by family and friends who had initiated their own private search,” she said.
Bang-up job there, constable. “Oh, we didn’t realize we were supposed to look for a body off the path! I’d like to thank the family and friends who took our job into their own hands. Hey, look over there! It’s the Olympics!”

Maybe if the Canadian hockey team beats the US for the gold medal, Kirk Cameron will follow suit?
Oh come on. Everybody knows that Boner’s dad’s name is Sylvester Stabone.
I’ll never look at the Family Guy clip of Adam West laughing about Boner’s name the same way.
Somebody better check in on Skippy from Family Ties and Vinnie Del Pino.
Tracy Gold is so torn up, she started eating again.
Now what headline are you going to use for the naked Snooki pictures?
Next stop for Boner, the bone yard.
I think I’m showing a tremendous amount of restraint by not making a joke about Stabone showing Willie Ames that the best sidekicks from 80′s sitcoms give everything 110%:

Too soon. No, not about the actor – about the wave of impotence caused by the Snooki pic teasers.
His sister is married to Jimmy Pardo and Andrew worked with him on his Never Not Funny Podcast.

Note to self: Rock star hair, not the key to happiness.
That headline coulda worked for the post about Paris Hilton’s super-sexy video too…
Nooooo! He died before I could ask him where he got that tie! It’s perfect for any event1
Matt, I believe what you meant to hedline this post with was “MOURNING BONER.”
Sir it seems Andrew Koenig has been found of apparent suicide
Well it looks like this Boners…
/puts on sunglasses

YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
I have never commented on a msg board online in my life. But you people are truly sick and disturbed. Both the author and the commentators. A man is DEAD.
May you all die and be disrespected and recognized for the pathetic people that you are.
Welcome to the internet Littman.
I have also never before commented on such a site. Mr. Littman, you are so correct. There are parents mourning a child, and as a mother I find this horrific. May these jerks rot in their little isolated islands of awfulness.
I have never even seen a computer up until today, but I’d just like to mention that all of the boner jokes were absolutely hilarious. As for the two sanctimonious crybabies above me: lighten up!
Assorted porn, cat videos, & making fun of dead people and retards are all what Al Gore invented the interwebs for. Don’t like it then go watch the Hallmark channel.
