Beth Chapman, the wife of Dog The Bounty Hunter star Duane “Dog” Chapman, has died after being placed in a medically induced coma.
The 51-year-old was admitted to the intensive care unit at Queen’s Medical Center in Hawaii on Saturday.
Mr Chapman confirmed on Wednesday that she had died.
He said: “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.”
Mrs Chapman revealed she had been diagnosed with stage two throat cancer in September 2017, but two months later announced she was cancer free.
However, a year later she underwent emergency surgery and doctors discovered the cancer had returned and spread to her lungs.
She began treatment for the disease in December 2018, but was “rushed to a Hawaii hospital with serious breathing issues” in April, Us Weekly magazine confirmed.
A source told the magazine at the time: “She hasn’t been feeling well of late and Dog is by her side. One thing everyone knows about Beth is that she’s a fighter.”
