Dustin Diamond fears that his cancer may have been caused by staying in cheap hotels.
Saved by the Bell star was recently diagnosed with stage four small cell carcinoma, which is commonly referred to as advanced lung cancer.
The 44-year-old actor is reportedly intrigued by how he contracted this cancer, as it is usually caused by smoking and he is not a smoker, according to TMZ.

His representatives told TMZ that Dustin is questioning whether staying in cheap hotels to work could have caused the disease, as he fears that some may have had asbestos, which he may have breathed.
“Dustin believes that some of these stains may have mold or asbestos … that he may have breathed, causing his cancer,” reported the publication.
