Leonard Nimoy has been hospitalized

[TurtleTitan97]

Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy has reportedly been hospitalized following complaints of severe chest pains.

Nimoy, who portrayed Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek television series from 1966-1969, was sent to the UCLA Medical Center last Thursday. Nimoy’s hospitalization follows the actor’s recent hospital visits over the past several months, and his own admittance to having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nimoy said the disease most likely came from a years-long smoking habit he held.

While Nimoy’s current condition is unknown, check back in with ComicBook.com for any updates on the story.

Oh man, that's not good. I hope Leonard gets better soon.

Godspeed, Mr. Spock.

Godspeed, Mr. Spock.

You said it DF.

Does anybody want to switch seats?

[TheCanadiandrome]

oh man, best of luck to Mr. Nimoy

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I do hope he gets well soon. I'd hate for the crew to be down to two bridge officers....

Any updates?

Any updates?

Yes, Yahoo! just reported his passing at the LA area hospital. No article is up yet. I will edit this post when an article is available. A shame but he prospered for 83 plus years.

RIP Leonard Nimoy :cry:

Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.

His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Mr. Nimoy announced last year that he had the disease, which he attributed to years of smoking, a habit he had given up three decades earlier. He had been hospitalized earlier in the week.

I'm taking comfort in his being able to die at home.
Thanks for everything, Mr Nimoy.

RIP, Mr. Spock. Legendary character.

There goes a legend, a sad day for us all.

Man reading his Twitter his last posts are so surreal:

His last post:

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

So sad.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Not my favorite Star Trek, but definitely my favorite Vulcan.

:cry:

[Netkeeper]

That tweet is too much for me to handle.

He will be greatly, greatly missed.

[CyberCubed]

The man was a legend. Its hard to believe what a real icon he was, he seemed like the type of person who would live forever.

I'm getting worried as Harrisson Ford is pretty old now too, I hope he makes it through the new Star Wars trilogy assuming he's in all of them. Losing Nimoy is bad enough but if we lose Harrisson Ford anytime soon it will be truly depressing.

[Netkeeper]

Oh god no don't jinx that.

William Shatner posted on his twitter:

"I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love."

[mexichrist83]

This is really sad news. It's very rare the I will be actually be upset about the death of a celebrity but Spock was always a hero of mine and I always hoped that some day I would get to meet Mr. Nimoy. Every day I wear my Star Trek lanyard to work and I have a Spock pin that I have on my messenger bag. I'm wearing the Spock pin on my hoodie today to pay respect. Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy.

[TigerClaw]

He was truly one of a kind, Today is a sad day for everyone.

[TurtleTitan97]

Terrible news indeed. :(

[ObiWanFan4life]

Live long and Prosper Mr. Spock, R.I.P. :(

[Jester]

Love Nimoy. Heck, he's the one actor from the Original Trek that my wife can appreciate.

I'm surprised Laird hasn't made a post on his blog about this yet given the huge fan of Star Trek he is. I suppose he will eventually though but as of the time of this post its not there yet.

[snake]

RIP. He lived a long life.

RIP Great man and great actor.

[Spike Spiegel]

Weirdly enough, I was watching Star Trek: TMP this afternoon when I learned about this on Tumblr.

Obviously, he was quite a talented dude, and I think he also helped make the Disney film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" better than it would have been otherwise.

[Jester]

Watching the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers he was in with Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum. Love him in Trek, but I'm sure he'd want to be remembered as more than Mr. Spock.

[JakeSully]

RIP Spock and Galvatron.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I feel a piece of my childhood died with him today! :(

[BubblyShell22]

That's very sad news. I wasn't really a Trekkie, but I respect his work and thought he was good. I still loved his appearance on The Simpsons though:

Mayor Quimby: May the Force be with you.

Leonard Nimoy: Do you know who the hell I am?

[JTH]

The only thing that could cheer me up were if someone could make a picture of the Turtles doing the Vulcan salute.

Would be pretty easy for them to do it seeing as they only have 3 fingers... :D

[CyberCubed]

Its hard to believe William Shatner is/was the same age as Nimoy, he's 83 as well. Imagine if he dies too this year? Losing both the original Star Trek leads in the same year would be devastating.

There's a hashtag all over Twitter and Facebook, Of people doing the Vulcan Salute to honor Leonard Nimoy, How do I know this? Because I participated in it also. Check out the the hashtag #SaluteNimoy

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Ouch- I guess I called that one, sadly. This is such sad news, both for us fans, and for those who simply liked and admired him for his other work or as a person. He will certainly be missed.

[CyberCubed]

It makes you remember when celebrities had actual talent and were icons, unlike many of the actors of today.

It will be a sad day when Patrick Stewart, Harrisson Ford, and William Shatner pass on as well. Scary thing is they're all close in age too. Shatner is 83 just like Nimoy was.
