Veteran comedian and actor Leslie Nielsen has died in a Florida hospital, his family confirmed to Global News on Sunday evening. The Canadian actor was 84.

Nielsen rose to fame with roles in the Airplane and Naked Gun film franchises. He had apparently been suffering from pneumonia for more than a week.

“Today at 5:30 with his friends and his wife by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away,” his nephew Doug Nielsen told Manitoba radio station CJOB68.

:( I need to go watch Airplane 1 and 2 now.....

He was the funniest thing about several recent spoof movies. Now with him gone, they will all be crap.
So long Mr. Nielsen. May no one call you Shirley.

He'll always be Frank Drebin to me. RIP.

Kinda sad that he had to die just so I can know his actual age. Never had a clue.

Definitely one of my favorite comic actors. Loved him in Naked Gun. Knew how old he was, knew to expect it sooner or later, but still pretty hard to take since he was near the top of my list of actors who had most impact on my life. But he's in heaven now, RIP Leslie Nielsen.

One of my favorite tv apparances he did was on the series finale of Golden Girls.

Blanche sets up this blind date with her Uncle Lcuas for Dotothy. Dorothy & Lucas hit it off & end up being married.

Blanche didn't like the idea of them getting married, but changed her mind. Rose told her that with them married, everyone will be related in this household, except her (which Sophia replies "Now that's family planning!")

The bridesmaids & mother of the bride had lovely thoughts as Dorothy went down the aisle in her wedding gown. But Rose was singing "The Farmet In The Dell!" (LOL).
