Stephen tWitch Boss committed suicide at the age of 40

The Ellen DeGeneres‘ famed DJ and former dancing star is no more and the news is confirmed by his wife Allison Holker herself.

On Tuesday Allison rushed to an LAPD station all worried because Stephen had left home without his car, something he never used to do before.

Sometime later, paramedics received a call for a medical emergency at a motel in Los Angeles. They found Stephen’s body in his motel room at the Oak Tree Inn in Encino, California, which is just a 14-minute walk from his home.

The death was due to an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The motel staff revealed that they did not find Stephen visibly upset when he arrived the previous night with just a small overnight bag.

The dancer was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed that there were no signs of foul play and the case has officially been dismissed.

Holker said:

“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.”

The grieving widow continued:

“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.”
