In a statement to the outlet, published on July 21, a representative for Dog the Bounty Hunter's family confirmed that Gregory Zecca has been placed on a psychiatric hold after allegedly killing his 13-year-old son.

The representative stated that Gregory has been deeply grieving the loss of his son, Anthony, and there were concerns about his well-being, specifically that he might take his own life. As a result, he has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, not due to any guilt regarding the alleged crime.

They also clarified that he is currently unable to speak to either law enforcement or family members because he is "heavily sedated."

The Collier County Sheriff's Office confirmed that when they arrived at the apartment, Anthony had lost a lot of blood. Despite giving CPR, he was pronounced dead at 10:21 PM.

According to the report, Dog the Bounty Hunter's step-grandson was shot in the neck, and the gun was found on the kitchen island. Meanwhile, through a representative, Francie Frane, who shares Gregory with her late husband, provided a statement to the outlet, saying:

"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."

In an interview with TMZ Live in May 2020, Dog the Bounty Hunter revealed that Francie Frane lost her partner just six months before he lost his wife, Beth Chapman. He shared that they began talking on the phone, "crying and consoling," which eventually led to their marriage.

"With Francie, I'm allowed to speak about Beth, we speak about her husband. We cry. We hold each other," he added.

Dog the Bounty Hunter tied the knot to Francis Frane in 2021 after both of their previous partner passed away from cancer. He has been married six times before, and has a total of 13 kids.
