Dog the Bounty Hunter shares heartbreak as step-grandson dies in 'tragic accident'
Dog the Bounty Hunter has suffered a devastating loss after his step-grandson has died.
The shocking incdient is believed to have happened at around 8pm on Saturday July 20 in an apartment in Naples, Florida.
Dog and his partner Francie, through a representative, told TMZ... "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony."
Gregory, who is Francie's child from a previous marriage, became part of Dog's life when he married Francie in 2021. The couple found solace in each other following the deaths of their respective spouses. Gregory is also part of Dog's bounty hunting crew, working alongside Dog and his daughter, Lyssa, reports the Mirror US.
In a surprising turn of events in 2023, Dog stunned his followers by announcing he had a secret son. The revelation came on the fourth anniversary of his late wife Beth's passing. Dog introduced his adult son to the world through a social media post, sharing a snapshot of the well-built man dressed in a blue polo shirt and smart jeans, complete with sunglasses reminiscent of those his father famously wears.
His wife, sporting a polka dot off-the-shoulder blouse, blue cropped jeans, and black heels, posed alongside him in the snap. She completed her look with a red belt and chic oversized pale pink sunglasses.
Dog revealed to followers that the complete tale of his hidden child would feature in his upcoming memoir Nine Lives and Counting. Whilst he kept the publication date under wraps, he assured fans it was "coming soon".
The Mirror has contacted Dog the Bounty Hunter and The Collier County Sheriff's Office for comment.

Shock 'extortion' claims emerge after pro boxer and influencer Stefi Cohen's arrest on domestic violence charges
Stefi Cohen is the victim of 'extortion' and 'abuse' at the hands of an illegal immigrant, her boyfriend Tristan Hamm has claimed after a domestic violence charge against the professional boxer and influencer was dropped. Cohen - full name Stefanie Cohen Magarici - was arrested on July 2 amid allegations she assaulted her boyfriend at their Miami-area home. But on Wednesday, TMZ reported that prosecutors dismissed the case after Hamm refused to cooperate. He told TMZ that Cohen is, in fact, the victim of a 'bigger' crime. 'This was a complete misunderstanding, neither party called the police, and yet an arrest was made,' Hamm said. 'What's really happening here is bigger: Stefanie is being extorted by an illegal immigrant who defrauded her and her employees for years and is now manipulating the legal system to continue that abuse. 'This arrest only gained traction because of two bogus cases tied to the same individual, which distorted the perception of the officers. She's innocent, plain and simple. Her case being dismissed today is proof of this. 'What we're dealing with is a calculated scheme to defame her and defraud her as well as the media and millions of Americans in an attempt to cover up his immigration and financial scheme. And it's finally coming to light.' MORE TO FOLLOW

Post Malone enjoys a legal victory in complicated child custody case with ex-fiancee Jamie Park
Post Malone 's ex-fiancée Hee Sung 'Jamie' Park filed to dismiss their child custody case in Los Angeles this week. The dismissal is considered a win for Post as California allows for higher payments for child support, but their legal battle is still ongoing. The rapper-turned-country star, 30, and Hee Sung welcomed their daughter in 2022. The couple split in November 2024 after their daughter turned two with Post and Park filing custody petitions in the states of Utah and California, respectively. This comes just weeks after his split from his girlfriend Christy Lee following their whirlwind romance on the heels of his baby mama breakup. The custody battle will continue in Utah, where Post filed because that is where he had been splitting 50/50 custody with his ex as a hands-on dad, per TMZ. That's where Park had been living before she moved to California at the beginning of the year. The latest update comes a little over two months since the musician submitted an emotional declaration in court in an effort to convince a Los Angeles judge to throw out his ex's custody lawsuit in California. In Park's original filing, she originally asked for joint legal custody and visitation for the rapper but she wanted primary physical custody. Back in May, the Grammy-nominated artist, whose weight loss has been a topic of discussion among fans, filed for her case to be tossed when he told the court the child's mother only filed in Los Angeles for perceived strategic advantages among the court battle. His attorney Laura Wasser pointed out to the court that the female child already has a number of essential ties to Utah. They include her nanny, pediatrician, as well as classes she's been enrolled in for music, physical education and swimming, the attorney told the court in legal docs. In Park's legal documents, submitted last month to the Los Angeles Superior Court's family law division, she refers to her and Post's daughter simply as DDP. The two-year-old's mother filed for full physical custody, but she only requested joint legal custody and is also open to giving Post visitation rights, aka 'parenting time.' Park, who reportedly split from Post near the end of 2024, alleged in her new legal documents that DDP has lived with her since November, via TMZ. Her court filing, in which she demands that her ex cover her legal costs, also revealed that their daughter was born in May 2022. As for child support, she said: 'The court may make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.' Post reportedly recently submitted sealed custody documents of his own in Utah, where he keeps his primary residence, but he has yet to give a response to Park's new filing.

Victoria's Secret vet Joy Corrigan drops MORE bombshell news... after shock pregnancy reveal
Joy Corrigan and Todd Kraines got engaged Sunday while enjoying what she described as 'an epic weekend' at a Malibu resort. The stunning model, 37, recently revealed she was expecting her first child with Kraines who proposed to her at the Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club, sources told TMZ Tuesday. Corrigan - who has been featured by Sports Illustrated, Playboy and Victoria's Secret - was under the impression they would be spending a quiet 'staycation' at the idyllic Southern California hotspot. Kraines proposed during what Corrigan believed was a dinner date, sources told the outlet, as he had a golf cart take them to a spot in the woods where a massive floral arrangement was set up. Kraines told Corrigan that 'the last six months with her have been the wildest ride but the best of his life,' before dropping to one knee and proposing. The question was not a total surprise - the pair had been shopping for rings recently, sources told the outlet - but Corrigan wasn't expecting to hear it so soon. After the proposal, the newly-engaged pair enjoyed a romantic dinner and informed relatives of the wonderful news, insiders told the outlet. Corrigan shared a series of Instagram Stories posts Tuesday with her 764,000 followers in which she documented tidbits of the romantic summer weekend with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians personality. In one shot, ostensibly linked to the engagement, the model was seen hugging a floral arrangement so enormous she was unable to wrap her arms fully around it. She wrote she was the 'luckiest girl' with a heart eyes emoji, tagging Kraines into the post. Her next post showed off the idyllic surroundings of the resort, including a large body of water. Corrigan also documented the early days of what appears to be a fitness-oriented pregnancy, as she exercised in a gray one-piece athleticwear ensemble. She was seen posing with her friends, including fellow model Ludi Delfino, as they got in a workout on the summer day. Kraines on Tuesday spoke with TMZ about his 'bun in the oven' with Corrigan. Asked what the child's gender is, Kraines said he thinks they do know, but will 'let Joy handle that part.' He said that his model fiancee has been 'glowing' and 'adorable' amid the early days of her pregnancy. Kraines said: 'The first trimester was a little interesting, but now she's she's eating, so it's good. 'She's a stickler with her food, and making sure the baby is all good.' Kraines said that his family had been in touch with their longtime pals, the Kardashians, amid the flurry of life events. 'I know Kris talked to my mom, so that was exciting, and she actually asked if it was true the news, and obviously it is,' Kraines said. Asked if he would name one of the Kardashians one of his child's godparents, Kraines was stuck for an answer.
