Dog the Bounty Hunter's stepson Gregory Zecca has been placed on psychiatric hold after the death of his son.
Gregory - who is the son of the Duane 'Dog' Chapman's wife Francie Frane and her late husband - accidentally shot and killed his 13-year-old son Anthony on July 19, and has been left devastated by the tragedy.
A representative for the family told TMZ that Gregory is on a 5150 psychiatric hold over concerns for his wellbeing after Anthony's death.
The spokesperson noted that the decision was made because of the father's grief, not because of he feels guilty of a crime.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office are conducting an investigation into what they have described as an "isolated incident".
The police department told E! News in a statement on Monday (21.07.25): “Our detectives are conducting a thorough investigation looking into all the elements of this tragic incident. “The investigation includes statements from witnesses who were at the scene, forensic testing, subpoenas, and search warrants.”
Meanwhile, the family said they are mourning "over this incomprehensible tragic accident".
A rep for Dog and Francie 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."
