Leonard
Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global
following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer
of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star
Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los
Angeles. He was 83.
His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Mr.
Nimoy announced last year that he had the disease, which he attributed
to years of smoking, a habit he had given up three decades earlier. He
had been hospitalized earlier in the week.
