Update: Beth Chapman, wife of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, has passed away aged 51

BETH CHAPMAN, adored wife of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” – has lost her battle with cancer aged 51.

Beth died today (26 June) just days after she was admitted to the ICU at Queen’s Medical Centre in Honolulu, Hawaii.

She was placed in a medically induced coma after a lengthy battle against throat and lung cancer, which eventually took her life.

The star was first diagnosed with throat cancer in September 2017 but was given the all clear by December that same year. Unfortunately, the cancer returned last November and Beth underwent aggressive chemo to fight for her life back.

Her husband, Duane “Dog” Chapman tweeted a goodbye to Beth.

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.
