Beth Chapman and her husband Dog the Bounty Hunter were reportedly taping their new TV show just days before her passing. The series is titled Dog’s Most Wanted and it follows Dog, Beth, and their bounty hunting teams as they go in search of some of the country’s most dangerous fugitives.
According to TMZ, the couple had been filming for the series, right up until the point when Beth had to be placed into a medically-induced coma after suffering a choking emergency on June 22. The outlet notes that cameras were not filming during the emergency.

The show is reportedly not finished shooting, leaving WGN America — it’s home network — to either edit together the footage they do have into an ending, or wait for Dog and his family to mourn their loss and return to film the last episodes.
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.
