Saved By The Bell Star Dustin Diamond Dies Aged 44
The actor played Screech on the hit show from 1989 to 1993
US Sitcom star Dustin Diamond has passed away after a short battle with lung cancer. A representative released the news yesterday (February 1), with Diamond having his first round of chemotherapy after being diagnosed last month.
The star’s agent Roger Paul revealed that this health deteriorated quickly over the last week, adding the following:
Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.
Co-stars from Saved By The Bell such as Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played AC Slater and Zack Morris on the show respectively, have shared their condolences.
Diamond appeared in follow up shows Saved By The Bell: The New Class and Saved By The Bell: The College years. Though, he didn’t make an appearance in the recent revival with other members of the original cast.
The Screech actor also serviced three months in prison after stabbing a man during a bar altercation in 2014.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
