Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy has passed away, The New York Times has reported.

Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek series, was hospitalized last week following complaints of severe chest pains. Nimoy revealed last year that he had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. According to the Times, Nimoy's wife Susan Nimoy confirmed the death while confirming COPD as the official cause of his death.

Nimoy's Star Trek series ran from 1967 to 1969 on CBS, where he co-starred with William Shatner's Captain Kirk. He would later portray the character in five Star Trek films that ran throughout the seventies and eighties. He most recently played an older version the character in J. J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot and its sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness.

So sad. I watched him with awe as Spock in my childhood and again every time he resurrected the role into my adult life. He changed the way I viewed science fiction. RIP Mr. Nimoy.

He was also a very accomplished and talented photographer, whose monochrome photographs show incredible chiaroscuro.
Many people have lost a role model.

I never watch Star Trek and I know who he is, that’s how influential he was on the world. Rest in Peace

His final Tweet is just so bitter sweet too:

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

Loved Star Trek as a kid, and still own all the movies (some in VHS). Nimoy's Spock was always my fave from the Original Series. Loved when he raised his eyebrows as he contemplated human stupidity and naivety.

RIP Mr. Nimoy!
