Andrew Koenig 1968-2010

Het lichaam van de Amerikaanse acteur Andrew Koenig is donderdagmiddag (lokale tijd) gevonden in een park in de Canadese stad Vancouver. Hij werd sinds 18 februari vermist. Dat meldden Amerikaanse media donderdag.

Volgens zijn familie was Koenig (41) depressief en beroofde hij zichzelf van het leven. Het lichaam werd tijdens een zoekactie door familie en vrienden van de acteur gevonden in Stanley Park, een groot stadspark.

Andrew Koenig was vooral bekend van zijn rol als Richard 'Boner' Stabone in de jaren 80-comedyserie Growing Pains.

Hij is de zoon van Walter Koenig, die zelf acteur was in de serie Star Trek. Koenig jr. bezocht vrienden in Vancouver. Hij woonde in Los Angeles, waar hij enkele weken geleden zijn huis ontruimde.

Ik vind die foto zo eng! Z'n ogen zijn zwart, brrrrr. Wel treurig, RIP.

RIP Andrew Koenig

Ik ken de beste man niet, maar het is altijd triest om te lezen als iemand zo aan het einde van zijn leven komt.

R.I.P.

Vooral ook heel droevig voor zijn ouders, Walter Koenig ('Mr. Chekov' in de Star Trek TV serie)en zijn echtgenote,en andere nabestaanden.

Zoals altijd in het geval van zelfdoding blijven de naasten van 'het slachtoffer' levenslang met de gevolgen opgescheept.

R.I.P.

RIP Andrew Koenig

Vroeger veel naar Growing Pains gekeken. Was toendertijd een aardige serie. DiCaprio heeft er ook nog een rolletje in gehad.

RIP Andrew Koenig

Ik heb het ook vaak gezien. Mooie serie - jeugdsentiment.

R.I.P.

Erg triest dit.

RIP Andrew Koenig "Boner"!

RIP Tom T-Bone Wolk (bassist Hall & Oates)

BBC-presentator Kristian Digby dood teruggevonden

LONDEN - BBC-presentator Kristian Digby (32)is maandag dood aangetroffen in zijn woning in Oost-Londen. Dat heeft de Britse BBC dinsdag bekendgemaakt. Over de doodsoorzaak is officieel nog niets bekend. Volgens de Britse krant Daily Mail is de presentator gestikt tijdens een seksspel.

Politiebronnen vertelden aan de Daily Mail dat de presentator stierf tijdens een uit de hand gelopen seksspel. Een riem en een zak zouden meegenomen zijn voor verder onderzoek. Volgens de krant wordt zelfmoord volledig uitgesloten.

Geliefde presentator

De 32-jarige Digby maakte verschillende programma's voor de BBC waaronder 'Double Agents', 'Living in the Sun' en 'House Swap'. Vrienden, collega's en fans reageerden geschokt op de dood van de presentator, die door de BBC werd omschreven als 'erg geliefd'.

‘Ik kan geen slecht woord over Kristian zeggen’, zei zijn collega-presentator Dominic Littlewood van 'To Buy or Not To Buy'. ‘Hij was een grappig, leuk, vrolijk en respectabel mens.’ Ook zijn agent en vriend Jo Wander is aangeslagen. ‘Ik zal hem enorm missen en mijn gedachten zijn bij zijn familie en vele vrienden.’

Homoseksualiteit

Digby was homoseksueel en zette zich ook in voor de homogemeenschap. ‘Hij heeft homoseksualiteit acceptabel gemaakt in de middenklasse en dat was stoer van hem’, vindt Julian Bennet, een vriend en collega van Digby. ‘Homoseksueel zijn was nooit een probleem voor hem. Hij was een heer.’

Dat huizenprogramma met hem vond ik altijd erg leuk om te kijken veel beter dan die Nederlandse woonprogramma's

R.I.P. Martin Benson.

Ik ken hem voornamelijk van de Bondfilm Goldfinger, waarin hij de gangster Mr. Solo is, die niet mee wil doen met het plan van Goldfinger en denkt terug naar het vliegveld gereden te worden. Oddjob heeft echter een "verpletterende afspraak" voor hem.

Verder zie je hem ook regelmatig in oude afleveringen van The Saint.
