He hanged himself on a tree in the middle of the forest of Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada, on February 16, 2010. A private search was conducted by eleven family and friends, including Andrew's father
Walter Koenig, who had rushed to the scene after the search party found Andrew's body. Andrew had previously gone missing after being clinically depressed, turned down several jobs, and cleared out his own apartment. To honor his son's memory, Walter asked his fans to donate to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or the U.S. Campaign for Burma.
