Dustin Diamond, Saved by the Bell's 'Screech,' Dead at 44 - Rolling Stone
Dustin Diamond, who portrayed lovable nerd Samuel “Screech” Powers across four incarnations of Saved by the Bell from 1988 to 2000, died Monday after a three-week battle with carcinoma. He was 44. Diamond’s agent, Roger Paul, confirmed the actor’s death to Rolling Stone.

“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.

Too bad to hear. Saved by the Bell was a huge part of my childhood growing up. It sucks watching individuals you "grew up with" pass, especially at such an early age. RIP Screech!

Heard he was a real a hole to everyone he came into contact with. Hopefully he was able to make amends.
