AceShowbiz - The latest public figure whose death shocked the entertainment industry was Stephen "tWitch" Boss. The 40-year-old dancer and DJ on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" took his own life on December 13, just days after celebrating his 9th wedding anniversary with his wife Allison Holker. Officials confirmed that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He allegedly shot himself in the bathroom of a motel less than half a mile from his home.
One month before the tragic incident, tWitch said he was hoping to have another child with his wife Allison. In an interview last month, the dancer told "The Jennifer Hudson Show", "I love the little babies, I love them. It's a constant conversation," to which his wife excitedly told host Jennifer Hudson, "I think we would love to start trying for another one."
Upon learning of tWitch's death, Ellen DeGeneres described him as her "family" and "pure love and light," adding that she was heartbroken. Not stopping there, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" team also shared various footage of tWitch on the show to remember his life.
