Dustin Diamond is dead, his rep confirmed to HollywoodLife on Feb. 1. The Saved By The Bell Star, who was just 44 years old, was battling stage IV cancer and his health drastically declined over the last week, according to the rep. “We are saddened to confirm of Dustin Diamond’s passing on Monday, February 1st, 2021 due to carcinoma [lung cancer],” the statement said. “He was diagnosed with this brutal, relentless form of malignant cancer only three weeks ago. 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.”
