Dog the Bounty Hunter's ‘heavily sedated' stepson placed on psych hold after killing his only child in ‘tragic accident'
Duane 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Chapman's stepson Gregory Zecca has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold after 'accidentally' shooting and killing his 13-year-old son, Anthony Zecca. Greg is being monitored because he is so devastated by the loss of his only son that there are concerns he may try taking his life, a rep for the family told TMZ Tuesday. The rep made sure to note that the psych hold has nothing to do with Greg feeling guilty of a crime. The outlet reported that Greg has not been able to speak to family members or cops yet because he is heavily sedated. Page Six has reached out for comment Greg fatally shot Anthony in their Naples, Fla., apartment on Saturday night. According to the police report, the teen had an entry wound on his neck, just above his sternum, and no exit wound. Law enforcement told TMZ that Anthony had lost a ton of blood by the time they arrived. They performed CPR and other life-saving measures, including chest compressions, but he was pronounced dead just over two hours later. The firearm used in the fatal shooting was on the kitchen island when deputies arrived, per the police report. While no arrests have been made, an investigation remains ongoing. Greg is the son of Dog's wife, Francie Frane, whom he married in September 2021. '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,' they said in a statement. After news of the tragedy broke, social media users resurfaced photos of Greg and Anthony at a shooting range. 'Getting some range time in with our buddies @franktownfirearms,' Greg told his followers at the time. He and Anthony were all smiles as they posed with guns and practiced shooting them.
