Beth Chapman, wife to ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ loses battle with cancer

Beth Chapman, who with her husband Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman, starred in the popular reality series ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter,’ died Wednesday in a Honolulu hospital.

Beth Chapman was reportedly filming alongside her husband, Duane “Dog” Chapman,” days before being hospitalized for the last time.

Duane, 66, announced her passing on Twitter, writing, "It’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side."

According to TMZ, Beth, who died at 51, was a major part of WGN America’s “Dog’s Most Wanted” and was filming the series until almost her last day.

They had reportedly been filming for several months and were coming close to wrapping production when she suffered a choking emergency at their Hawaii home last week.

The outlet reports that cameras were not rolling during Beth’s hospitalization and was still scheduled to shoot prior to the incident. It’s reportedly up to Dog what will happen with the footage and the future of the show from here on out.
