James Van Der Beek shared colorectal cancer warning sign months before his death

Prior to James Van Der Beek's death at age 48, the actor revealed the first warning sign of his colon cancer — and it’s one that did not seem alarming at the time.

The "Dawson’s Creek" actor's wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, confirmed his passing in a social media post on Wednesday.

Following the announcement of his colorectal cancer diagnosis in November 2024, Van Der Beek told Healthline in August that "there wasn’t any red flag or something glaring."
