Robinson’s ex-wife Rainey – who also appeared on the show which aired over one season while Dog’s wife was battling cancer in 2019 – first confirmed the news to TMZ on Thursday as she said David was on a Zoom call when he had some kind of medical emergency.

Police and paramedics responded and performed CPR as they arrived at the scene, however, it was unsuccessful.

No official cause of death has been determined. 

David starred alongside Dog in Dog’s Most Wanted which aired on WGN back in 2019.  

The series had a different premise than Dog’s other shows as it centered around hunting fugitives rather than people who had jumped bail with his company.

In the series – which only had one 10-episode season – Dog not only juggled his career but also his wife Beth Chapman’s cancer diagnosis.

Sadly Beth passed away after a battle with throat cancer at the age of 51 in Honolulu, Hawaii back in June 2019.
