James Doohan, 'Star Trek's' Scotty, dead

The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease, he said.
It's a sad day for fans of Star Trek. :(

They can still buy his episodes on DVD; it's not as if he was making any these days.

It's a sad day. I just heard that James Doohan (you know, Scotty from Star Trek) died of Alzheimer's. Poor fellow.

Don't worry. I'll be the one who gives in and takes notice. Should I make an early onset alzheimer's reference?

Man, I was just browsing the 'Net and discovered that James Doohan (you know, Scotty from Star Trek) passed away. They say it was from Alzheimer's. We'll miss you, Scotty. I guess you could say this is the only time Scotty got beamed up.

I think I might have to get a copy of your book just because you're good for entertainment and I wouldn't want you to starve to death!

Well, there's always dolphin and orangutan bars, right? Whatever those are... By the way, have you heard about James Doohan?

Yeah... I think he choked on a bald eagle bar... no, wait! Alzheimer's... that's it, he died of Alzheimer's. R.I.P. Scotty. You could say this is the only time Scotty got beamed up. We'll miss you Mr. Eagle.
