Dustin Diamond, who played Screech in
Saved By The Bell, has died aged 44 after a short battle with lung cancer. Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful, the actor s spokesman, Roger Paul, said.
TMZ reported that he has been taken off breathing machines in an effort to move him to hospice care.
Diamond first revealed his cancer battle last month and his death comes shortly after he completed his first round of chemotherapy.
His diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer is understood to have come after cancer spread to his lungs from elsewhere in his body.
