Illness and death
On August 31, 2023, Van Der Beek was diagnosed with colorectal cancer; he did not make his diagnosis public until November 2024. He stated that he had “been privately dealing with this diagnosis and [has] been taking steps to resolve it” with the support of his family.[42] In November 2025, he announced that he would be auctioning items from Dawson’s Creek and Varsity Blues to help cover costs associated with his cancer treatment.[43]
Van Der Beek died on February 11, 2026, at the age of 48.[1][37]
Emphasis mine. Fuck cancer and fuck for-profit healthcare even more. RIP
