Famed “Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ tWitch has died by suicide, Page Six has confirmed. He was 40.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ they discovered tWitch’s body in a Los Angeles hotel room after his wife, Allison Holker, reported to police that tWitch, whose real name is Stephen Boss, had left home without his car, which was unlike him.
It appears he had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Reps for Boss didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Boss began deejaying on the “Ellen” show in 2014 and stayed with the former talk show until its end in 2022. DeGeneres, 64, made him an executive producer on the show in 2020.
His showbiz career began in 2008 when he placed as a runner-up on “So You Think You Can Dance.” After securing his “Ellen” role, Boss began hosting events and also appeared in “Magic Mike XXL.”
The famous dancer married Holker on Dec. 10, 2013. They recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.
“It’s our 9th anniversary!! I couldn’t be more grateful to celebrate this perfect magical day!!! Saying YES to @sir_twitch_alot has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life!!” Holker captioned an Instagram tribute to her late husband.
“I feel so blessed and loved!! I love you baby and I will never take you or OUR love for granted! I LOVE YOU #happyanniversary#bosswedding2013.”
Boss is survived by his wife and their three children, Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.
