Dennis Haskins<\/a> died from Parkinson’s disease … TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n

TMZ obtained the “Saved by the Bell” actor’s death certificate from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which lists Parkinson’s disease as the immediate cause of death.<\/p>\n

The certificate shows Dennis died September 27 at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The document also lists irritable bowel syndrome, depression, hypertension, and benign prostatic hyperplasia as other significant conditions.<\/p>\n

No one knew Dennis was battling Parkinson’s before he died<\/a> … with his ex-wife, Sarah Quinones, telling us he had even cut off communication <\/a>with close confidants to hide his diagnosis in recent years.<\/p>\n

Dennis spent his final years in an assisted-living facility … and he stopped returning calls and texts from Quinones and other close friends because he didn\u2019t want anyone to know he was suffering from his illnesses.<\/p>\n

He starred as Principal Belding on “Saved by the Bell” and several of its spin-offs. He also racked up credits for “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “The West Wing,” “Victorious,” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.”<\/p>\n

His agent Jay Schachter told us … “It’s a tragic loss. Everyone loved Mr. Belding and those of us who got to know Dennis, loved him even more. He was a great person, and he loved, I mean absolutely LOVED his fans.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dennis Haskins died from Parkinson’s disease … TMZ has learned.
