Leonard Nimoy has been hospitalized
 
Quote:

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.

Does anybody want to switch seats?

TheCanadiandrome 02-24-2015 10:09 PM

oh man, best of luck to Mr. Nimoy

MsMarvelDuckie 02-26-2015 01:37 AM

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

CyberCubed 02-26-2015 01:52 AM

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.

Such sad news.

RIP Leonard Nimoy :cry:

Quote:

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.

CyberCubed 02-27-2015 11:50 AM

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

Man reading his Twitter his last posts are so surreal:

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

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 02-27-2015 12:17 PM

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

:cry:

Netkeeper 02-27-2015 12:24 PM

That tweet is too much for me to handle.

He will be greatly, greatly missed.

CyberCubed 02-27-2015 12:29 PM

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 02-27-2015 12:33 PM

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 02-27-2015 01:56 PM

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 02-27-2015 02:09 PM

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

TurtleTitan97 02-27-2015 02:54 PM

Terrible news indeed. :(

ObiWanFan4life 02-27-2015 03:10 PM

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

Jester 02-27-2015 05:28 PM

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

CyberCubed 02-27-2015 05:54 PM

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 02-27-2015 05:57 PM

RIP. He lived a long life.

RIP Great man and great actor.

Spike Spiegel 02-27-2015 07:33 PM

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 02-27-2015 07:38 PM

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 02-27-2015 11:50 PM

RIP Spock and Galvatron.

TheCanadiandrome 02-28-2015 01:01 AM

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

BubblyShell22 02-28-2015 08:34 AM

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 02-28-2015 08:48 AM

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 02-28-2015 05:59 PM

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.

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 03-02-2015 02:13 AM

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.
