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.

Godspeed, Mr. Spock.

oh man, best of luck to Mr. Nimoy

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

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

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.

So sad.

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

*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.
