Beth Chapman, wife to Duane "Dog" Chapman from the popular reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter has passed away in a Honolulu hospital at age 51, the family has confirmed.

Chapman had been placed in a medically-induced coma as she battled stage 2 throat cancer. The couple announced Beth's diagnosis on Facebook in 2017. It was thought the cancer had been completely removed, as the couple revealed in their A&E special Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives, but the disease returned last year.

The couple raised 12 children between their Colorado and Hawaii homes and their reality show, which ran from 2004 to 2012, was as much about their family-owned bounty hunting business as it was about their marriage and their family life. The pair and their son Leland stared in the CMT series Dog and Beth: On the Hunt from 2013 to 2015.

Her husband "Dog" told Us Weekly Beth was seeking alternative treatments and that his wife wouldn't take any prescription drugs, only over-the-counter, despite doctors' orders. Beth had said she was committed to regaining her health, saying, "I'm a fighter, I'm a strong fighter -- big-time survivor -- and I'm gonna fight this as vigorously as it's fighting me."

Dog announced Beth had been hospitalized in April, then released but June 23 he called for prayers as Beth lay in a coma in Hawaii.

Peace to Beth and her family.
