"Saved by the Bell" star Dustin Diamond died Monday after a three-week fight with carcinoma, according to his representatives. He was 44.
"Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful," Diamond's team said in a statement to the Associated Press and "Entertainment Tonight."
Diamond, best known for playing Screech on the hit '90s sitcom, was hospitalized last month in Florida and his team disclosed later that he had cancer.
Former co-star Mario Lopez took to Twitter to say farewell: "Dustin, you will be missed, my man. The fragility of this life is something never to be taken for granted."
