The body of Andrew Koenig, a former “Growing Pains” star who went missing in Vancouver earlier this month was found Thursday in one of the city’s parks, CNN reports. Koenig, who played Boner on the hit ’80s sitcom, was 41.

The actor had been missing for more than 10 days, with the last known sighting occurring on February 14. Koenig’s parents held a televised press conference Wednesday night in hopes that he was watching and would alert his family, friends or police of his whereabouts.  In another press conference held tonight, Thursday, they said it was clear their son had committed suicide.

Tweeps had been expressing their concern for Koenig and are now offering condolences to his family:
