Los Angeles - Leonard Nimoy, famed for his portrayal of Mr Spock on the Star Trek science fiction TV series and movies, has died after battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the New York times reported on Friday. He was 83.
The paper, citing confirmation from his wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, said Nimoy, who had grappled with a love-hate relationship for his logical human-alien screen self, died at his Los Angeles home on Friday.
Nimoy last year disclosed on Twitter that he had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive lung disease such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis.
