Update:
Beth Chapman may have lost her battle against cancer yesterday, but her husband Duane’s faith is remaining strong despite his tragic loss.
The reality TV star, who appeared alongside Duane on his show “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, fought valiantly throughout her battle with stage 2 throat cancer before being placed in a medically induced coma after experiencing difficulty breathing.
Beth passed to be with the Lord yesterday, and Duane has now spoken out for the first time.
Chapman, speaking to Hawaii News Now, urged for continued efforts to find a cure.
“You kind of try to remember that you’re celebrating life, but right now we’re mourning the death, so it’s not good,” he said.
“The cancer gig, of course, we’ve gotta find a cure because all we have now is some get lucky, but most pass away.”
Duane also opened up on his wife’s final words, revealing how she remained positive and selfless to the very end by making sure their family was OK right before dying.
“When she had an attack I didn’t know anything to do but to say ‘in Jesus’ name’ and hold her and when I said ‘in Jesus’ name’ she said, ‘Say it again, say it more.’
“One of the last things she said [was], ‘It’s a test of my faith.’ She had faith and that was it,” Chapman told Hawaii News Now. “Well, the last step when you’re dying is to accept it, and she said to me the other day, ‘Honey, that last step, I ain’t taking…’ So go Bethy.”
Chapman said his wife’s last words to him and their two daughters were: “I love you,” and “Are you guys all OK? Don’t worry.”
Duane also took the time to thanks fans who showed their support all throughout Beth’s battle. In a statement, a family spokesperson said: “Duane and the Chapman ʻohana send their love and a sincere mahalo to everyone who prayed for Beth throughout this journey.”
Sending so much love to Duane Chapman and his family during this difficult time. Rest easy in the arms of Jesus, Beth. We know you are now pain-free.

Original Story:
Sad news today as we learn that Beth Chapman has been placed in a medically induced coma.

Since last year, Beth has been battling stage IV cancer after being re-diagnosed with the disease following a long remission.
Throughout the ordeal, the T.V star has remained upbeat and positive despite the bleak medical outlook associated with her disease.
However, it appears that things have taken a tragic turn for the worst.
Beth was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017. At that time, we learned that she had stage 2 throat cancer. And she declared that she was cancer-free after undergoing therapy.
However, last year, cancer came back, and this time, it had spread through her body. She was hospitalized again in April after fluid built up in her lugs, with doctors performing an emergency operation to alleviate the pressure.
In a statement, Beth’s family said on Saturday:
“Reality TV star Beth Chapman has been admitted to the ICU at the Queen’s Medical Center and is in a medically-induced coma.”
Soon after, husband Duane took to social media to ask fans to pray for his wife as she continues to fight this horrible disease. Meanwhile, her family thanked everyone for their continued support.
Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you
