Body of Missing Actor Found!


This afternoon Vancouver police reveal that a body has been discovered and they believed it may be the body of missing "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig. CNN.com is now confirming that the body is indeed that of Koenig. Koenig has been missing since Valentine's Day and sources reveal the body was discovered in Vancouver's Stanley Park, which so happens to be an area that Vancouver police were heavily searching in the days since Koenig's disappearance.
Koenig's family and friends decided to do their own search of the area and that is when the body was found. Koenig's father "Star Trek" actor Walter Koenig revealed in a press conference that his son "took his own life".


Koenig's disappearance was first reported after the actor missed a return flight to Los Angeles, after visiting with friends in Canada. He was said to have been in a depressed state leading up to his disappearance and stopped taking anti-depressant medications a little over a year ago.

Johnson & Johnson Heiress Found Dead


Casey Johnson, the 30 yr old heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, was discovered dead in her home on Monday morning. It appears that the heiress died of natural causes, however various reports are circulating claiming she was addicted to several perscription medications. Johnson also suffered from diabetes and sources claims she was hospitalized several times in the past year after falling into a diabetic coma.


Police investigators claim there is no evidence of foul play, and the coroner's office will take over to determine the ultimate cause of death. Casey is survived by her father Woody Johnson, owner for the NY Jets and a three year old daughter Ava.

Johnson made headlines last year when she was charged with grand theft for stealing household items from a former girlfriend and she was also allegedly engaged to Tila Tequila. Tequila claims she and Johnson had been fighting and that Johnson stayed at her home on Dec. 28th, however she had been unable to get in contact with Casey since and her phone was shut off since Dec. 29th! Police investigators have revealed to TMZ.com that it appears that Johnson may have been dead for several days before her body was discovered.

Story is still developing!

Brittany Murphy's Husband Opposes Autoposy On His Late Wife


Simon Monjack is strongly opposed to the LA County Coroner's office decision to perform an autopsy on his wife, actress Brittany Murphy. The Corner and LAPD are investigating into the cause of death of the thirty-two year-old actress.

On Sunday morning, Murphy's mother allegedly found her daughter unconscious in the shower. The ambulance attempted CPR on the actress, but she was non responsive. Murphy was rushed to Cedars Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. The coroner is speculating the Murphy died of natural causes, specifically full cardiac arrest.

Last Saturday, Monjack was in the hospital after the couple flew home from Puerto Rico, where Murphy was filming a movie. Monjack was having asthma attacks and appeared incoherent.

Former Miss Argentina Dies after Plastic Surgery


Solange Magnano, crowned Miss Argentina in 1994, died over the weekend after receiving surgery for a gluteoplasty, or, in layman's terms, "butt implants." The cosmetic procedure went horribly wrong the day after the surgery, when the liquid injected into Magnano's buttocks "went to her lungs and brain," causing a pulmonary embolism - a blocked artery in the lung. She died after spending three days in critical condition. The former beauty queen was only 38, and the mother of 7-year-old twins. The official cause of death is currently still under investigation.

Magnano's close friend Roberto Piazza stated about the tragedy: "A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind." Her untimely death is sure to serve as a warning about the risks that come with surgery of any kind, let alone elective procedures.
