The stepson of Duane ' Dog the Bounty Hunter ' Chapman has been placed under psychiatric observation following the accidental shooting of his 13-year-old son during the weekend, reports indicate.
According to family representatives speaking to TMZ, cited by NY Post, Gregory Zecca is under medical supervision at a facility in Naples, Florida, following the tragic incident on Saturday evening where he unintentionally killed his son Anthony. The supervision is a precautionary measure due to concerns about his wellbeing.
The family spokesperson clarified that Zecca's distress stems from the loss of his son, rather than any legal implications, as no charges have been filed regarding the incident. NY Post quoted TMZ in reporting that he is currently under heavy sedation during the observation period.
Under the Baker Act, also known as the Florida Mental Health Act , authorities can place individuals showing severe mental health symptoms or potentially harmful behaviour under mandatory examination. The status of Zecca's admission, whether voluntary or involuntary, remains undisclosed.
Zecca became part of Chapman's extended family when the bounty hunter wed Francie Frane in 2021. Both had previously lost their spouses to cancer. The families connected through their shared religious beliefs and experiences of loss, with Zecca subsequently joining Chapman's professional team.
Social media evidence showed Zecca and Anthony frequenting shooting ranges together. The family has termed the incident a " tragic accident ," while the Collier County Sheriff's Office confirmed it as an "isolated incident" without naming individuals.
The family's official statement requested "continued prayers" as they cope with the loss of Anthony. Chapman, who has 13 other children from relationships with six different women, including four previous wives, awaits the ongoing police investigation's findings.
