These days, we know of celebrity deaths almost as soon as they happen, thanks to the speed with which information is disseminated via internet and social media. Every so often, however, a celebrity dies well under the radar and we don’t hear about it until much, much later.

Maybe the celeb’s family is just really good at keeping things private, or maybe the celeb has all been forgotten by the public. No matter how shocking the death is, though, we do hope that they left behind real estate properties or a hefty bank account or even life insurance policies for their families instead of an inheritance of debt.

Dustin Diamond – Cancer

In a sad turn of events, the world lost actor Dustin Diamond in 2021 after he could not endure a battle with cancer. The former Saved by the Bell star received numerous tributes from friends and colleagues, including the likes of former costar Mario Lopez.

Unfortunately, Dustin’s life would include unforeseen hardship, and the fame from his time on the hit television show did not last. Despite all of this, there is no doubt that the entertainment industry said goodbye to a man whose comedic genius was never fully appreciated or brought to fruition – A tragic loss of yet another child star.

Hank Aaron – Natural Causes

In January of 2021 the world sadly said goodbye to one of baseball’s greatest players, Hank Aaron. During his time on the field Hank set numerous records. To some this comes as no surprise if you take into account that Hank was a giant of a man measuring more than six feet in height who towered over other players.

After his retirement Hank went on to become a successful Georgia businessman, opening several car dealerships across the state which did very well. It’s certain that he will be missed by his family and baseball fans alike.
