“11/2/72 – 11/30/22 #Fast156,” she wrote along with a photo of Robinson wearing sunglasses.
The hashtag seems to be a reference to David’s Twitter handle @Fast1556 though he has not tweeted in nearly three years.
Robinson appeared alongside bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman on several episodes of the spinoff reality show about Dog the Bounty Hunter and his team pursuing America’s most wanted fugitives.

His wife Brooke Robinson released a statement to TMZ which read: “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.”

First responders tried to resuscitate him, the outlet reported, but were not able to save his life.
Robinson appeared on the show, which aired for only one season, in 2019. The show’s website described him as a tech expert.
“Working with the Chapmans for almost a decade, David specializes in the tech aspect of hunting,” they wrote. “It is hard to unplug from technology these days and David will use that to find you!”

Dog the Bounty Hunter star Duane Chapman released a statement saying: “I’m shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of David Robinson, my right-hand man of many years,” the 69-year-old, told TMZ.
“Until we meet again, brother.”
Back in September 2020, David’s then wife Rainy had announced that they were separating after nearly 25 years of marriage for what she called “some very heartbreaking and irrevocable actions.”
The Dog The Bounty Hunter series regular took to social media and explained to her followers what had happened in her union.
“After nearly 25 years of marriage (9/30/95) and 27 year together, David and I are separating,” she said.
“We have had many years of happy times, fun parties, television, businesses, tears and triumphs. We share two beautiful daughters and three adorable grand-daughters.
“Marriage is difficult and in some cases does not always last; we had a great run and I am proud of the time we’ve spent building a life. We are family and will always love each other as such.”
