Canadian actor Leslie Nielsen, who most famously achieved global success in comedy movies such as "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun," has died aged 84, Manitoba radio station CJOB reported Sunday.
His death was first reported in unconfirmed messages on Twitter late Sunday that suggested the actor had died in the hospital after suffering from pneumonia.
His nephew Doug Nielson, told CJOB that Leslie had been in the hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for 12 days and that with family and friends by his side at 5:30pm Sunday "he just fell asleep and passed away."
Born in Regina, Canada, Leslie Nielsen appeared in more than 100 movies and hundreds of television shows over the course of his career.

He was silly and funny. What's really amazing is he was not jewish or gay which is a rarity in Hollywood.
Nielson liked to walk around the set during filming with a fart maker in his coat pocket. He'd be standing with a group of cast members and let out his horrendous fart sound with a perfectly straight face and people would clear out. I guess they used it in one of his scenes from The Naked Gun where he took a radio mic into the toilet during a press conference.
Btw.....he was also in two Scary Movie episodes.
