The body of the actor, activist and comedian, Andrew Koenig, was found in Stanley Park in Vancouver. He had been missing for over a week.

Apparently Andrew sold or gave away many of his possessions and moved out of his apartment in Venice, California, before travelling to Canada, where he died by suicide.

It seems that one’s suicide can be so carefully planned and executed, it is hard for those of us not in the grip of depression, to comprehend. The determination to escape the domination of depression provides only a hint of the severity of the affliction.

He had a history with depression and had been despondent. I still struggle with how invisible depression can be, even at it’s most unbearable.

My heart is heavy for Andrew Koenig’s family and friends.
