Walter Koenig, celebrated for his role as Pavel Chekov in the original "Star Trek" series, has been cremated and interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. His final disposition occurred on October 30, at the same cemetery where his son, Andrew Koenig, was laid to rest following his death in 2010.

The actor's death certificate indicated cardiopulmonary arrest as the immediate cause, with chronic diastolic congestive heart failure as an underlying condition. Acute renal failure was also cited as a contributing factor. Koenig's extensive career spanned decades, including appearances in "Babylon 5" and "Futurama," and he continued acting late into his life.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Judy Koenig, in 2022. Koenig's passing occurred just days before fellow "Star Trek" star Patrick Stewart died on October 28.
