Saved by the bell actor Dustin Diamond’s representatives have announced that the actor has sadly passed away aged 44.
Just three weeks ago, the actor was diagnosed with stage four cancer. The 44-yr-old actor’s representative said to American media:
“He was diagnosed with this brutal, relentless form of malignant cancer only three weeks ago,” Paul said in a statement. “In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution. Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.
“Dustin Diamond was a character in and of himself: an unpredictable spitfire who always left us shocked, but never left us bored,” Paul added. “We please ask that you give room for privacy to our team and Mr. Diamond’s family during this tragic time, as we grieve and remember the memories spent together. This loss is as much stinging as it is sudden.”
Dustin, was known for playing Screech on the ’90s teen sitcom Saved By The Bell, fell ill with “body aches” this past weekend in Florida.
The representatives have asked for fans to keep the actor in their thoughts and prayers.
