    Leslie Nielsen Passes Away at Age 84

    The world just became a little less funny. RIP

    Actor Leslie Nielsen passed away today at a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida hospital, according to his agent John S. Kelly. He died of complications from pneumonia at the age of 84.

    Born on February 11, 1926, Nielsen is most known for his roles in comedies such as Airplane! and "The Naked Gun" films.

    His agent sent out the following statement:

    We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in THE NAKED GUN series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60 year career in motion pictures and television."

    Mr. Nielsen, 84, died of complications of pneumonia in a hospital near his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, surrounded by his lovely wife and dear friends at 5:34pm EST today.
