Duane “Dog” Chapman, the star of “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” is under a doctor’s care after suffering what’s being called a heart emergency, TMZ reports. The news comes just months after the death of his wife, Beth Chapman, in June.
The report cites sources saying Chapman suffered a “possible heart attack,” adding that doctors are performing tests to determine the exact nature of the problem.
“Sources tell TMZ the reality TV star was taken to a hospital from his home in Colorado after feeling a pain in his chest,” the website reports. “They’re also trying to figure out if he will need a corrective surgery.”
The report adds: “Beth’s death has been incredibly hard on Dog — he broke down in tears at her Colorado memorial — who’s also been dealing with other forms of stress lately.
“His store was broken into last month — where crooks made off with some of Beth’s personal items — and Dog also nearly fell victim to a $430k check scam out of Dubai.”
Beth Chapman died June 26 of complications from cancer.
Dog, please don’t go yet. We love you so much and this world needs you even more than we love you. R.I.P. your beautiful soulmate Beth.
