BBC TV is reporting it now as Breaking News.
RIP. 
Heavy bummage, looks like time to get out the copy of Dracula: Dead and Loving It =(
Damn.
I’ve been trying to get Mr. Elysium to watch Forbidden Planet with me for months now. He hasn’t seen it yet!
We should do a double feature and watch Airplane! afterwards. RIP Leslie.
And how old was Mr. Nielsen?
That’s no way to die.
A parachute not opening… that’s a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine… having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that’s the way he should’a gone!
:(:(:(
Police Squad? What is it?
R.I.P, Mr. Neilsen. You were a very, very, funny man.
I had to find this out from Perez Hilton 
You mean you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue? In any event I fixed the thread title.
I just wanted to say good luck, and we’re all counting on you.
What about that day over Macho Grande?
I haven’t seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.
(RIP)
It’s a short-lived TV comedy series from 1982, but that’s not important right now.
I’ll never get over Macho Grande.
It’s a building with police but that’s not important.
It seems Mr Leilsen had a huge following here at the SDMB and it is sad that he has gone.
Never thought I’d use this smilie in any posting associated with Leslie Nielsen.
You made us all smile.
Better still, change it to: “Leslie Nielsen: Dead and Loving It!”
Thanks for the laughs, and don’t forget about George Zip.
He’s dead and O.J. is still alive?
When I got to the scene of the crime, my boss, Ed, was already there.
