Beth’s health ordeals began in September 2017, when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer.
After treatment, the cancer initially went into remission, but it later returned and spread to her lungs.
Nevertheless, Beth continued filming Dog’s Most Wanted at her husband’s side in early 2019.
During filming on June 22, she suffered a medical emergency and had to be hospitalized and placed into a medically induced coma, before dying four days later on June 26.

Duane’s spiritual awakening happened weeks after his fake proposal to his longtime assistant Moon Angell on an episode of The Dr. Oz Show.
The bounty hunter appeared to propose to Moon, which she turned down on the spot in front of a flabbergasted Dr. Oz.
Earlier in February, Dog told Entertainment Tonight that he carried on the fake proposal because: ‘I am very lonesome.’
According to him, his assistant was a source of comfort because of her long association with Beth.
‘She talked about Beth constantly, “Remember what Beth used to tell us,” and of course I would light right up when she’d say that. I was infatuated with a dream,’ he explained.
Duane has subsequently denied ever having a real relationship with Moon.
