In a statement provided to TMZ, Robinson’s widow, Brooke Robinson, further described her husband’s passing by saying, “David was very healthy and was on a work call in our dining room at home when he collapsed. Life-saving maneuvers were attempted and paramedics were called. David died in my arms. We ask again for time and space to grieve for the husband, father, brother, and friend that was lost.”
In 2019, Robinson appeared in Dog’s Most Wanted as Dog’s Right Hand Man with Rainy Robinson serving as the Right Hand Woman for Beth Chapman. Along with featuring the bounty hunters pursuing wanted fugitives, the series also followed the group dealing with Beth’s terminal cancer diagnosis, and she passed away in 2019 while the series was in production. The series followed the prior reality shows Dog the Bounty Hunter and Dog and Beth: On the Hunt.
