E! "News" tonight spent their only coverage of this item trying to manufacture a controversy about the Koenigs pulling out of the interview. Leave it to E! to scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel when people are suffering.
Why do people watch BOTH of those shitty channels? Unsubscribe now!
My condolences to Walter & Judy at this sad moment.
For Andrew, I offer this:
'May you find the peace in death that you never found in life.'*

Well if you have ever dealt with extreme depression you may not think that way. It messes with your every thought. What does Andrews age ave to do with his parents loving him and being concerned about him? Most parents no matter what their childs age would be just as concerned and loving. He could have been 60 and the feelings and concern would have been exactly the same.
I suffer from depression and know what a living hell life can be. My thoughts and prayers are with the Koenig family.
This is so sad and tragic. My deepest and sincerest condolences to all who knew Andrew.

This must be so heartbreaking for the Koeing family, my thoughts and prayers go out to the Koenig's.
Really sad day, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
I just send the following condolence note to his inbox. He's always been a decent fellow to regular fans, and a nice guy all around, who is really one of our people, so this hits close to home for me.
I wish to express my deepest condolences to Walter Koenig and his entire family. I have several members of my family and friends who are fighting depression right now, and seeing the tragic loss of your son, someone who, like Mr. Koenig, I feel like I know on a personal level from television and meeting Walter/Andrew at various cons over the years.
I have friends and family working with depression at various stages right now, as so many people do, so thank you for using your celebrity to speak out and get the warning signs out there. People need to hear this material, and need to hear that they can reach out for help, and to take the time out of your personal space during such a tragedy, just made this 40 year old sci-fi, tech nerd, feel like it was nice to know there are still good people out there, fighting to help.
Wishing you our best,
Dwayne S. Josephson and Family

Oh, man. My heart goes out to Walter and Judy, and Andrew's sister.
They don't know 99.9% of us from Adam, but because we "know" Walter, they are -- whether they like it or not -- part of our "extended family", so while we get all the privacy in the world, they are not afforded that same privilege. I feel for them in that, too, especially at this moment. Their grief cannot be THEIR grief. At a dark moment like this, they are still being shared with us.
Poor, poor Walter and Judy. You don't know me, but I feel for you. May God bless and keep you.
Vechnaya pomyat.

Hey Patty, that's a great tribute you put together on Walters site.

Andrew was a man who cared deeply about others, and who acted on his conscience... working on a grass roots level to help those in need.
To honor him and his life, we are suggesting people donate in Andrew's memory to
the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

or US Campaign for Burma .

Ive been following this on BBC news for a while now.
So sad.
There is a writeup and dozens of pages of comments on cbc.ca: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/02/25/bc-body-found-koenig.html#socialcomments
Most comments express condolences to Walter, Judy, Danielle, and the rest of their family and Andrew's friends. A few not-so-nice comments may be the result of a misunderstanding between not knowing for sure if Andrew had been found and later seeing the confirmation. Unfortunately there are always a few idiots who log on just to post nasty "why is this news" comments.
But by and large, Canadians have been following the news updates on this sad happening and sincerely wish nothing but peace for Andrew and his family.
For myself, I watched the press conference on the 'Net, and am grateful to Walter Koenig for finding the strength to go public with this and to reach out to other depression sufferers (I am one). He may have saved someone else's life with that encouragement to seek help.

Agreed. I am so, so impressed by the Koenig family, reaching out to others, to help those still suffering silently.
Look -- screw our silly space stories. We feel the impact all the more because it happened to a family we think we know. But there are those all around us, in our own lives, who could suffer just such a dreadful circumstance. Let's all make an extra effort to help, to understand, and love -- and never judge. In our own small ways, let's never let such a fate befall any of our own friends or family.
