Mike Seaver will always miss Boner.

Andrew Koenig's former Growing Pains costar Kirk Cameron was one of the first celebrities to speak out when the actor went missing; it's only fitting that he's done the same in the wake of his tragic death.

"It is with great sorrow to hear about the final outcome of the search for my old friend Andrew," he said in a statement. "I hope everyone will be sensitive to the Koenigs and give the family some private time to reflect and to grieve the loss of their beloved son.

"At a time like this, we all are reminded of the briefness of life and the importance of being ready for our eternal destination. My prayers will continue to be with Andrew's family."

Meanwhile, the B.C. Coroners Service has begun an investigation into Koenig's apparent suicide—standard operating procedure in the wake of "any unnatural, sudden, unexpected, unexplained or unattended deaths."
