Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the DJ from Ellen DeGeneres’ show, has died in an apparent suicide, according to multiple reports. He was 40.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” his wife, 34-year-old Allison Holker, said in a statement to People magazine. “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.”
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Holker had gone to a Los Angeles Police Department station on Tuesday and was “frantic” after her husband had left home without his car, which was said to be out of character. Shortly after, police were contacted about a shooting at an L.A. hotel where Boss was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to TMZ.
