Leonard Nimoy dies: Spock of ‘Star Trek' dead at 83

Beloved ‘Star Trek' actor Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock, died at his Bel Air home at the age of 83 Friday morning.

Nimoy who was suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was rushed to the hospital a week ago after complaining of severe chest pain. Although he gave up smoking three decades ago, last year Nimoy announced that he had the disease, which he attributed to his years of smoking. He is survived by his wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, who confirmed her husband's death to the New York Times.

Nimoy became internationally beloved as the logical human-alien Spock on the ‘Star Trek' television show and movies. The show premiered on Sept. 8, 1966 on NBC, also featuring William Shatner as Captain Kirk, DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy, George Takei as Sulu, James Doohan as Scott, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura and Walter Koenig as Chekov. The show became a cult classic and years later Spock's trademark split-fingered salute and catch phrase, “Live long and prosper,” would be well-known among even those who don't watch the show.

I don't get it: the same researchers casting doubt on anthropogenic climate change are the ones who said tobacco was safe.

Hate to disagree with Spock, but I doubt cigarettes hurt Leonard Nimoy one bit.

He's 83, many ppl at that age die of some pulmonary issue, like pneumonia.

A fine actor cast in many different roles, he lived long and prospered. I would have liked to see him continue, but none of us can forever. He will be missed by many, including me.

Leonard Nimoy's final Twitter tweet on Feb. 23rd was

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

Possibly the only worthwhile thing ever said on Twitter.

Only a Ferengi would dislike that comment.

Jobs was no stranger to drug abuse, especially in his youth. He also spent time in India, which is where a whole array of hepatic and digestive system virrii and bugs are endemic.

Jobs died of prostate cancer of the pancreas. He needed a doctor with really long fingers.
