    'Screech' from Saved By the Bell dies - Dustin Diamond

    'Saved by the Bell' star Dustin Diamond dead at 44 after battle with stage 4 cancer

    Dustin Diamond, the actor best known for playing Samuel "Screech" Powers on the beloved coming-of-age sitcom "Saved By the Bell," has died. He was 44.

    The actor was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell carcinoma cancer last month.

    The actor's agent told Fox News that Diamond died on Monday "due to carcinoma."

    "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," Diamond's agent Roger Paul said in a statement. "Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful."

    According to Paul, he last spoke to Diamond on Thursday.

    "That was the last time he was coherent," he shared. "He was in a lot of pain. [His health] went downhill from there."

    Some of Diamond's "Saved By the Bell" co-stars took to Twitter to share their loss.

    "Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dustin Diamond, a true comedic genius," Mark-Paul Gosselaar tweeted. "My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Looking back at our time working together, I will miss those raw, brilliant sparks that only he was able to produce. A pie in your face, my comrade."

    "Dustin, you will be missed my man," wrote Mario Lopez. "The fragility of this life is something never to be taken for granted. Prayers for your family will continue on."

    "I am deeply saddened by I the news of my old co-star @realdustindiamond passing," added Tiffany Thiessen. "Life is extremely fragile and it's something we should never take for granted. God speed Dustin.

    The actor's team previously told Fox News that Diamond was "undergoing testing" at an "undisclosed location" for fear that he would be targeted by paparazzi.

    The performer was hospitalized after feeling aches and pains throughout his body, TMZ previously reported.

    "He's always going to remain upbeat — that's just who he is in that respect," a member of Diamond's team told Fox News at the time.

    Diamond is "scared but hopeful" he'll overcome what possibilities loom ahead following the battery of tests to determine the severity of what Diamond and his team fear could be cancer, the team member said...

    Sad. The guy never got his bearings after Screech. His adult life was kind of a disaster.
