Beth Chapman, wife of ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ died Wednesday morning in Hawaii. Chapman was 51.

Doctors at a Honolulu hospital put her in a coma last week to relieve pain.

Chapman's husband announced her death on Twitter.  

She was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017. A tumor was removed and she was cancer-free. But she was later diagnosed with lung cancer.

The Chapmans starred in the reality TV series "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and recently appeared in "Dog & Beth: On the Hunt," both of which were filmed in Hawaii. 

In 2016, Chapman was elected president of the Professional Bail Agents of the United States.
