In November 2010, Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital for pneumonia. On November 28, Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, announced to the CJOB radio station that Nielsen had died in his sleep around 5:30 p.m. EST, surrounded by family and friends.^[63]^[64] He stated "Today at 5:30, with his friends and his wife Barbaree by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away."^[65] His nephew reflected on Nielsen's life, "He was truly a nice man. A very caring, naturally funny guy in day-to-day life, not just because someone wrote something on paper for him. He was a very tender-hearted man. He was one of my best friends and I loved him dearly. I'll miss him greatly.

I was really hoping they'd do a new Naked Gun movie or thought I'd even heard about plans for one but yeah this blows anybody who doesn't like his movies kind of sucks

Also thought a new Vacation movie was coming out Chevy Chase don't die

I've only seen parts of like 2-3 of his movies but what I saw was pretty funny.

Bummer that he's dead.

Same here! Another Naked Gun movie would have been heaven.

Sad that he's gone, Leslie Nielsen was truly a comedy icon.
