The Canadian actor and comedian was reported dead by a Canadian radio station, CJOB, and confirmed by Nielsen's cousin, Doug.

Doug told CJOB that Leslie was hospitalised for 12 days in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "He just fell asleep and passed away," he said in a statement, adding that his immediate family and closest friends were by his side at the time. The cause of death is believed to be pneumonia, according to unconfirmed reports on Twitter.
