Dustin Diamond engraved himself in the public eye at an early age. He appeared in the series Save by the Bell, which at one time enjoyed popularity in our region as well. The 44-year-old artist was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer about three weeks ago by doctors. He lost his fight for life yesterday morning.
On January 12, actor Dustin Diamond ended up in hospital. He was feeling a huge pain in his body. Two days later, doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer and he immediately began receiving chemotherapy. However, his condition gradually deteriorated and he had to be connected to pulmonary ventilation.
Yesterday, however, actors manager Roger Paul confirmed that Dustin had died. In his last moments, he was supported by his girlfriend Tash, with whom they formed a couple for about a year. “Dustin did not suffer and did not have to lie in excruciating pain. We are grateful for that, ”he said in the opinion.
Many of his colleagues mourn the actor. Among them, for example, is Mario Lopez, with whom they performed together in the series Finally Rings. “Dustin, man, I will miss you! The fragility of this life is something we cannot take for granted. I pray for your family, ” he wrote on Twitter.
The actor’s death also affected his colleague Tori Spelling. The blonde, who became famous as Donna in the Beverly Hills 90210 act, also starred in the series Finally Rings. “Dustin Diamond was my first love in front of the cameras. Today he received angel wings. It was he with whom I kissed for the first time in front of the cameras. As you can imagine, being a newcomer to a well-established project was not easy for a 14-year-old girl. However, Dustin greeted me with open arms, showed me everything and made sure I felt good. He was such a young gentleman. He was kind, clever and kept making everyone laugh. He was a really good boy,” said Tori.
