ANDREW KOENIG – SUICIDE

Andrew Koenig was only 41 when he was found dead after he hanged himself in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. However, he left a vital mark in the film industry as an all-rounder — actor, director, and writer. He was also known for his human rights advocacy. Andrew Koenig suffered from severe depression and had been missing for several days before his death was confirmed. Andrew Koenig once said to people, “Never say I played Boner.” He didn’t want to be called Bonner all his life. That thing affected him.

In 2007, he visited the Burmese refugee camps located on the outskirts of Thailand to send help and support. The following year, he appeared in front of a Chinese float for the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, California. Because of the commotion, Koenig got himself arrested for his act of civil disobedience, but his defense attorney was quick to his response.
