The body was found in Stanley Park in Vancouver at approximately noon Thursday.
In an ominous sign, Koenig returned personal items to friend Lance Miccio and left them in a bag on Feb. 3. He also turned down jobs and disconnected his phone.
Andrew had suffered from depression for most of his life. Just days ago, Miccio told RadarOnline.com: “He suffers from depression. He’s up, he’s down. I’m worried about him, I’m concerned about him but I’m hoping for the best.”
Sadly, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
Miccio reacted with shock and grief when informed that it appears his close friend’s body has been found. “Oh my God,” he said to RadarOnline.com and was so emotional he couldn’t say anything else.

Andrew sold off his possessions before leaving Los Angeles on February 4 but RadarOnline.com discovered that he told one of his neighbors he was going on “vacation,” which was at odds with the way he was quickly changing his life.
“He started putting all his stuff out front trying to sell it. I actually got a cabinet from him because he said he was going to put it up on Craigslist for $175 but that if I wanted it I could just have it," the neighbor said.
“He told me he was going up to Vancouver and was excited to go on vacation. Looking back though, it’s weird that he got rid of everything he owned before going on a vacation. He was a nice guy, always very friendly with me.”
And while he told the neighbor he was going on vacation, Andrew’s landlord told RadarOnline.com on Tuesday outside the Venice, California apartment where the one-time child star lived: "Andrew gave a 30 day notice in January and moved out on February 4. I don't think he had any intention of coming back.

“Actor Andrew Koenig, best known for his role in the series Growing Pains has been missing since February 14, Valentine’s Day. Vancouver police believe he may be in the area. Kirk Cameron who starred in Growing Pains has publicly urged Andrew to call him. Andrew’s parents, Walter and Judy, are in Vancouver helping police search for their son. Walter may be familiar to you; he played Chekov in the original Star Trek series.”
Instead of introducing the parents, King paused and told viewers, “ I’m told that they left the studio so we’ll take a quick break and find out why.”
After another commercial break, King returned and said he had no explanation for why the Koenigs suddenly left the studio.
“For some reason unbeknownst to anyone Walter Koenig, the father of the missing Andrew Koenig and Judy, the mother of the missing Andrew Koenig, left the studio in Vancouver. We checked them out, they were prepared to go on, I said hello, they both said hello, we said we’d be on in two minutes, they said fine and they got up and left for reasons unknown.”
An insider at Larry King Live told RadarOnline.com, “What I know is exactly what you saw and heard on our show.”
Andrew is still missing in Vancouver, anyone with information on his whereabouts should call the Vancouver Police Department 604-711-2534.
