Very sad news.

Reality TV star Beth Chapman is in a medically induced coma, her husband Duane Chapman confirmed on Twitter. Duane Chapman is better known by his on-screen alias, Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Chapman has been battling cancer since 2017.

Duane Chapman shared an article from Hawaii News Now confirming the news and tweeted: “Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you.”

Dog the Bounty Hunter ran for eight seasons between 2004 and 2012.

Beth, who is just 51 years old, featured prominently in Chapman’s various shows, and starred in Dog And Beth: On The Hunt, which ran for three seasons. It saw Beth and Dog join their son Leland in flying across the United States and helping bail bondsmen apprehend criminals.

When Beth Chapman was diagnosed with throat cancer in early 2017, she and her husband also produced an A&E Special series named “Dog and Beth: Fight of Their Lives” — which documented her cancer journey.
