The family of Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman is mourning after a tragic accident involving his stepson, Gregory, led to the death of Gregory’s son, Anthony.

The heartbreaking news was confirmed in a statement shared with TMZ by a representative for Dog and his wife, Francie Chapman, who is Gregory’s mother.

Details about the accident remain limited, but it has been confirmed that the death was accidental and involved Gregory unintentionally causing the fatal incident that took his son’s life. Authorities have not yet disclosed the exact circumstances of what happened, but the situation has clearly devastated the entire Chapman family.

Dog the Bounty Hunter, known for his long-running television series that followed his bounty hunting career, has faced several personal losses over the years, including the death of his daughter Barbara Katy Chapman in a car accident in 2006, and the passing of his wife Beth Chapman in 2019 after a battle with cancer.

This latest tragedy adds to a long list of emotional hardships for the Chapman family. Friends, fans, and supporters have expressed their condolences on social media, offering prayers and emotional support to the grieving family.

The family has asked for privacy as they come to terms with the devastating loss and work through the grief together. They have not announced any plans for a public statement beyond their initial release or any memorial services at this time.

While the authorities continue to investigate the specifics of the incident, the focus remains on supporting the family during what they have called an “incomprehensible” time.

The death of young Anthony is a painful reminder of how quickly life can change and how important family is during times of unimaginable sorrow.
