DJ Stephen "tWitch" Boss Dies in Apparent Suicide at Age 40
He was best-known for his work on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’
DJ Stephen “tWitch” Boss has died at age 40, and TMZ has reported it was by suicide.
According to the outlet, his wife, Allison Holker, went to an LAPD station on Tuesday worried because her husband had left their home without his car, which was not typical of him to ever do. Later that morning, “paramedics got a call for a medical emergency at an L.A. hotel … and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene,” TMZ has stated.
Since his death, his wife has shared a statement with the outlet, which can be seen below:
“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.
He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans. To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory.
Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”
In addition to DJ’ing and his work on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, tWitch was known for being a super talented dancer and appearing on So You Think You Can Dance.
