FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Leslie Nielsen, who traded in his dramatic persona for inspired bumbling as a hapless doctor in "Airplane!" and the accident-prone detective Frank Drebin in "The Naked Gun" comedies, died on Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.

The Canadian-born actor died from complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home at 5:34 p.m., surrounded by his wife, Barbaree, and friends, his agent John S. Kelly said in a statement.

"We are saddened by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in 'The Naked Gun' series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television," said Kelly.

      WAYY too early Top 53 Man Roster Depth Chart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No we don't, if anything, I'd argue that WR is one of the more set positions on the roster at this moment for this coming season. We traded for Johnson to see if he can be a long term guy for us and to give Bryce a #1 who knows how to get open, he's locked in as the #1. Thielen was a stud last year and is locked in as the starting slot They think enough of Legette that we traded into the 1st to get him, he's locked in as the other starting outside WR as of now. This is year 1 of a rebuild, the coaches basically need to find out what they have in Mingo by the end of the year, because of that, he's also locked in as our 4th option, any lower on the depth chart and we might as well just cut or trade him now or his next season is TMJ's from last year. Giving Coker that signing bonus means they are all but expecting to keep him on the initial 53 (now, if he gets IR'd the first time he gets a paper cut, that's a different story, but it doesn't change the final 53 cut down math). ISM looked solid in the returner role last year, so unless they like someone better than him during camp, he's also got a spot locked up. So unless they plan on keeping 7 WRs on the initial 53, they likely only are looking for camp bodies at WR at this point, not someone they expect/want to find their way into the final 53.  And even if they wanted to keep 7 on the roster, at best we'd be looking for our 5th option. Someone like Jones may be an option once we get to the final 53 and then they end up IR'ing Coker as I expect them to do.
