We are deeply saddened to report that James Doohan, the beloved actor who portrayed engineer "Montgomery Scott" in the original Star Trek and seven movies, has passed away. He was 85.

Doohan died in his sleep at his home in Redmond, Washington, at 5:30 a.m. local time with his wife Wende at his side. Cause of death was pneumonia, complicated by Alzheimer's disease, according to Doohan's agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens of Los Angeles.

James Doohan was one of my favorite star trek actors, especially in the movies. There's something about that moustache. We're starting to lose the Original actors - first DeForest Kelley, now doohan... Makes me wonder if we'll lose Shatner or Nimoy anytime soon.
