Leonard Nimoy Reportedly Hospitalized For Chest Pains

Troubling news. Most troubling.

According to a TMZ report, Leonard Nimoy has been sent to the hospital after severe chest pains prompted a call to emergency services.

The report had this to say:

We’re told paramedics weren’t taking chances with Captain Spock and got him in front of a doctor ASAP. Nimoy’s been in and out of hospitals multiple times in the last few months.

 

Nimoy announced he was suffering from COPD back in 2014, and even though he quit smoking more than 30 years ago … he blames his illness on decades of lighting up.

 

In a sort of…odd poetic coincidence, his most recent tweet has a very somber tone.

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