Dog the Bounty Hunter pays tribute to co-star David Robinson who dies at 50

David Robinson, star of Dog's Most Wanted, has died at the age of 50, his ex-wife Rainy Robinson has confirmed.

Rainy took to Instagram on Thursday morning to share a picture of her ex-partner, with the caption: "11/2/72 - 11/30/22 #Fast156." She turned comments off on the post.

David's cause of death is yet to be confirmed.

The TV star worked with Duane Chapman, famously known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, for years and his co-star has shared a touching tribute.

"I'm shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of David Robinson, my right-hand man of many years. Until we meet again, brother," Duane told TMZ.

According to the publication, David had been on a Zoom call on Wednesday when he suffered a medical emergency.

Rainy told the news outlet that police and paramedics responded and CPR was performed, but was sadly unsuccessful.

Fans have been paying tribute to David on social media, with one person tweeting: "Such a shame," and another adding: "David Robinson RIP."

David appeared in a handful of Dog's Most Wanted episodes in 2019, accompanying bounty hunter Duane and a team of professionals as they travelled across America on the search for wanted fugitives.

David and his ex-wife Rainy were married for 25 years before announcing their separation in 2020. The former couple share two daughters and three granddaughters together.

David's death is yet another tragic blow for Dog, who has experienced several tragedies in recent years.

He was left heartbroken in 2006 when his eldest daughter Barbara Katy died at just 23 years old. She was killed in a tragic car accident the day before Dog's wedding to his fifth wife Beth Smith.

Beth was then diagnosed with aggressive throat cancer in 2017. She initially went into remission, but the disease eventually spread to her lungs.

She died from throat cancer in June 2019 at the age of 51.
