Sources gathered revealed that the mother of one was with a buddy in the car, and unfortunately, both friends were killed after the vehicle swerved from the road, to hit a tree.

Sadly, the 67-year-old lost another loved one last year. His wife of more than a decade, Beth, died after battling cancer last year in June

The car was later discovered in an upside-down position. Some reports claimed that Duane's daughter had been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

"There is no clue as to why they left the roadway. There are absolutely no skid marks on the road. they just went off the road, hit an embankment and launched."

A day after the tragedy, Duane wed his wife Beth Chapman, whom he shared two children with. It was during the wedding ceremony that the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" actor decided to share the sad news of his daughter's passing.
