Dustin Diamond speaks about Saved by the Bell in 2016
Dustin Diamond’s manager Roger Paul confirmed his death to Express.co.uk. He said: “We are saddened to confirm of Dustin Diamond’s passing on Monday, February 1st, 2021 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.
“Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.”
Roger went on describe Dustin as a “humorous and high-spirited individual whose greatest passion was to make others laugh”.
“He was able to sense and feel other peoples’ emotions to such a length that he was able to feel them too—a strength and a flaw, all in one.”
